Movie Info

Released in Great Britain as The ABC Murders, The Alphabet Murders stars a well-disguised Tony Randall as Agatha Christie's brilliant, insufferable Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. Unfortunately, director Frank Tashlin chooses to open the film with one of his Pirandelloian gimmicks by introducing Randall out of make-up as himself, then cutting to Randall as Poirot. This has the effect of taking the audience "out" of the picture, and it takes a while for the film to recover. On its own, the plot

Unrated, 1 hr. 30 min.

It was really as simple as ABC why this film was a dud, most of the suspense was lost in Tashlin's poorly conceived comic interpretation.

Thou silly, corny and ultimately absolutely ridiculous, Tony Randall and Robert Morley give great performances and make this film very enjoyable.

Falls flat because of how silly it is and campy , but Tony Randall gives such a great performance that raises it. Robert Morley was also great.
