A movie producer who suspects somebody murdered his dead wife invites six likely suspects to spend a week on his yacht, playing a game that could reveal the killer's identity. A whodunit with high-class surroundings, high-end booze, and a script by Anthony Perkins and Stephen Sondheim that's catty and clever and maybe a little too pleased with itself. The real mystery isn't who offed Sheila, but why Perkins isn't playing the Richard Benjamin role.
