Synopsis
"You are cordially invited to dinner ... and a murder!"

A killer cast and a screenplay to die for await you in the mirthful mystery spoof, Murder By Death! Eccentric millionaire Lionel Twain (acclaimed author Truman Capote) has invited the world's greatest detectives to his mansion for the ultimate battle of wits. Informing his guests that a member of the dinner party will be murdered at midnight, he offers a million dollars to the sleuth who solves the crime. As the deadly game commences, Sidney Wang (Peter Sellers), Sam Diamond (Peter Falk), Dick and Dora Charleston (David Niven and Dame Maggie Smith), Milo Perrier (James Coco), and Jessica Marbles (Elsa Lanchester) must combine their powers of deduction to survive the night and preserve their reputations — or be exposed as completely clueless.

Murder By Death boasts sinister style and lethal laughs, as well as a hilarious script from the master of comedy, Neil Simon.

!!!! I might have to buy this day one. Haven't seen it in many many years, but a family member brought it to the house during a holiday celebration and I loved it. I've always wanted to come back to it.

very funny movie with a terrific cast! Well worth getting

I just showed my DVD to some friends this past weekend! Now it goes to the trade pile! I hope THE CHEAP DETECTIVE won't be far behind.

MifuneFan · 09-04-2018, 11:11 PM

Never seen this, but it sounds perfect for me

hasslein · 09-04-2018, 11:14 PM

HA! I just got the dvd when the sony rewards physical media program ended... I knew it...

Hellhound · 09-04-2018, 11:23 PM

Great news! This has been high on my BD want list for years.

greyghost1241 · 09-04-2018, 11:26 PM

count me in and pre-ordered. great movie.

Chaz05 · 09-04-2018, 11:47 PM

One more DVD that I can retire!

scampbylt · 09-04-2018, 11:54 PM

Cool that this is getting the Shout Select treatment; never was 100% crazy about the ending, but love everything leading up to it.

Now, if only the TV film, Murder Can Hurt You, would get released to disc; that would really be thrilling.

Lord Summerisle · 09-05-2018, 12:01 AM

One of my favorite comedies of all time. I was wondering when this would finally come out. The cover art is certainly an improvement on the DVD art but then again most anything would be.

dudeabides34 · 09-05-2018, 12:04 AM

Day freaking one!! Wish list is getting shorter

sandman slim · 09-05-2018, 12:14 AM

One of my favorites! Have this on my DVR from one of the HD channels, happy to retire that in favor of a special edition Blu.

PowellPressburger · 09-05-2018, 12:34 AM

Love this film currently not liking Shouts business dealings

The fact this has finally come to BLU

I can only think is it a dated Sony master?

Cause other labels have been interested in this film... makes me think it was past over ?!?!?

Would be nice to know if it is a new HD scan or not.

Aclea · 09-05-2018, 12:40 AM

Hopefully with the deleted scenes that turned up in the network TV version.

stardragon9 · 09-05-2018, 01:00 AM

Absolutely fantastic news!!!

BrentLW · 09-05-2018, 02:50 AM

I wonder if they got an interview with Neil Simon before he passed.

The Sovereign · 09-05-2018, 03:12 AM

What a wonderfully silly movie! This one brings back a lot of memories. And I’m thrilled Shout used the great original art from Charles Addams for the cover!

OneWayFilms · 09-05-2018, 03:37 AM

WONDERFUL NEWS. Bring on MORE Neil Simon on Bluray, Like 'Seems Like Old Times'.

raptors661 · 09-05-2018, 04:04 AM

If Shout doesn't get the band Murder by Death to do the commentary, I won't buy!
