It tried to be big, it tried to do too much.
This work was the victim of the times. It is horribly dated with the label "MADE IN THE LATE 70'S" firmly attached. It feels like a late '70's, early '80's Made For TV event. Watch, "Rehearsal For Murder," and then watch this one, and you'll see just what I mean.
This incorporates Sam Spade wannabes in with Hercule Poirot, and a dirty CEO, creating a horrible montage of uneven character blends and a plot that watches like a darkened labyrinth.
Sellers is too comfortable in his fame and success and it shows, as it has severely clouded his talent. From this work, that statement is obvious.
It is NOT one of my favorites of this series, but even with all that, it is still somewhat amusing and without doubt belongs in the series
It rates a 5.6/10 from...
