    I watched this movie on Disney+ tonight and quite liked it.

    If you have ever enjoyed murder mystery flicks in the style of a good Agatha Christie book then I think you will like this.

    It's a mystery / comedy set in the 1950s. I think it's quite well done.

    I'm always interested in something new to check out on Disney+. I may have to watch this later this evening with the other half.

    If you like the agatha cristie stuff then you would certainly spot a number of the references etc.

    Just had a look at it too. Not bad. It's clearly a well
    designed "film" and takes advantage of camera angles and
    viewing artistry.

    I wasn't aware of the true story behind The Mousetrap.

    The film wasn't as good as some other Agatha Christie types,
    imho. I thought Knives Out was pretty good.

    But I still like this spoof of whodunits the best - Clue (1985) https://kolico.ca/mpg/Clue.1985.bullets.scene.mp4

    Yeah, we started it yesterday but we had to stop watching early as I was dealing with some massive heartburn and could sit there any more lol. But then we tried cracking back into it today and I wasn't super enthused...I'm weird with movies though.
