Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Adapted from The ABC Murders, this won't please Agatha Christie purists, with Tashlin's cool eye for the grotesque appropriately spoofing a Hercule Poirot adventure in which the famous detective has to track down a lunatic who murders his victims alphabetically. Randall plays Poirot for laughs, but did he have any choice with both Morley and Ekberg around?Author: DMacp
