This is arguably one of my all time favourite films. A dream cast, a hilarious script and a cracker of an idea make for what is utter comedy gold! When you have Peter Falk, Peter Sellers, Alec Guiness, Maggie Smith, David Niven how could you fail?? Every member of the cast delivers their lines with slick brilliance. Which detective will prevail as the best, and who will solve the crime? It is impossible to pick out the funniest bits as there are so many. Estelle Winwood is sensational as Jessy Marble's Nurse and has some side splitting moments, incredible to think she was nearly 90. Nancy Walker's silent screaming too, brilliance. If I had to pick standout performance it would be Sir Alec Guiness, he is utterly sensational, when he takes on the different persona's at the unravelling of the murderer scene he is a true joy to watch, genius.
