Comment
The plot is an old fashioned country house murder mystery, but it is also an excellent study of life both upstairs and downstairs in a 1930's country house. It is well directed (by Robert Altman) to give a great feel of life in this period with excellent attention to detail in the sets. There are a lot of good performances, although there are almost too many stars for the good of the film.
