A jet-set murder mystery starring Audrey Hepburn as a woman who takes over a large pharmaceutical company after her father's death in a mountaineering accident (which wasn't really an accident). Now it's up to inspector Gert Fröbe and his trusty computer to figure out whodunit, before Audrey becomes a casualty herself. It's elegant junk, with locations all over Europe and enough famous faces playing the greedy suspects to at least keep you wondering who the killer might be. Hepburn made just a handful of films in the last 25 years of her life. Movies like this could be one of the reasons.
