Comment/Synopsis
After a woman finds a dead body in her living room, she enlists the help of her three house guests to move the body, but before they can do that the police arrive to investigate a reported murder. This murder mystery with comic overtones was written by Agatha Christie at the request of Margaret Lockwood who wanted to appear in something lighter than her usual film roles. This is faithful to the original stage play and so has the feel of a filmed stage production.
