Oof. I'm not sure "comedy thriller" is accurate on either count. Save yourself some time. Watch Clue instead.

My interest in this (other than the fact it's friggin' SONDHEIM) was spurred on by these clips from the Broadway production: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYk9PtsHFco. But even there, one can see why this was a monumental flop, despite some classy actors lending their talents. And the large cast and prohibitively expensive set and special effects would deter many companies from attempting it. But the main problem is...it's just plain ... dull! I was expecting something more along the lines of Sondheim's much better 'The Last of Sheila'.
