A group of
strangers are stranded in a boarding house during a snow storm, one of whom is a murderer.
The suspects include the newly-married couple, a spinster with a curious background, and
architect who seems better equipped to be a chef, a retired army major, a strange little
man and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. Into their midst comes a policeman
who no sooner arrives, than the jurist is killed. Two down and one to go. To get to the
rational of the murder's patter, the policeman probes the background of everyone present,
and rattles a lot of skeletons. Another Agatha Christie switch finish. |

Critics had a hard time figuring
out which of these four comedies about the superiority of women is the funniest. The first
introduces a young man who starts to seduce a lady, only to have the tables turned on him.
The second involves a married couple who can't figure out whose turn it is to commence
love making. The third opens in a girl's apartment at 4 AM when her fiancé arrives to
tell her he is a nervous wreck and can't go through with the wedding. She gently leads the
way back to the wedding route. In the last, a couple who have fought for over thirty years
try to save their son's marriage by confessing their own failings. |
