Comment/Synopsis
After a woman (Glynis Johns) 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 and stays quite faithful to the original play. Glynis Johns is good in the lead but the supporting actors are not quite as strong.
