Why isn't this movie considered more of a classic? I watched it last night after checking it out from the library. Hilarious, suspenseful and very politically incorrect!

It was one of my favorite movies growing up, even when I didn't know who all the actors were, including Truman Capote. Now that I do know them and can follow the dialogue better, I have that much more appreciation for it. Who doesn't like Peter Sellers as Inspector Wang or Peter Falk? Other than Star Wars, it's probably my favorite Alec Guiness movie. I always loved the scene with Capote and the mechanical chair moving backwards.

The opening credits are very original. Four Stars.

The first movie I ever watched on a new thing called "cable" tv back in the day. Still love it.
