The Last of Sheila possesses few, if any, attributes designed to capture and sustain the viewer's interest...

Campy gamer thriller that wasn't as much fun as it pretended to be.

The Last of Sheila is so intricately scripted that Sondheim and Perkins actually drop clues throughout the film that can be picked up by attentive viewers.

interesting whodunit ala 10 little indians..colorful talented cast including Coburn, Mason, Welch, Benjamin...problem was I thought too much trying to put the clues together to really enjoy what was happening on the screen...I liked it, just confused me at the end and never did figure it out despite several viewings..
