The Weekend Murders

Moviecut—The Weekend Murders

An Italian take-off on a country estate mystery of the type done by Agatha Christie, but while this has possibilities be warned that it's rather slow and foolish and really isn't worth nearly two hours of your time. The film's composer simply changes a few notes and uses Tchaikovsky's "Piano Concerto No. One" as his theme music. The movie has no style and is not memorable.

Apr 2021 How best to describe this wonderful film, it is a british comedy whodunnit meets an italian giallo and it works brilliantly. Lance Percival represents the british actors along with Ballard Berkeley from Fawlty towers plus a couple of others, most of the cast are Italian actors who would see in a giallo such as Evelyn Stewart. We do get a couple of American actors too. Great fun, it all works for lovers of the giallo and lovers of a british whodunnit comedy. If you are unfamiliar with the actors then you would assume they are all British, the film is very well dubbed and can now be brought on blu ray, so is a little bit easier to get hold of now. 10 out of 10.

This is a take off of the agatha christie type films done in the italian style and set in a statley home in britian.It is great fun and should be seen.Great use of classical music,zoom shots,red herrings and a little bit of the naughty..i mean a little bit,it was early 70s. great apperance by ballard barclay,the major in fawlty towers.It will not set the world on fire but you could do worse. Out of ten,say seven
