Plot

A family goes to a British estate to hear the reading of a will and while there they are murdered one by one. An early victim is the butler, played by Ballard Berkeley, whose character speaks in a very different voice to Berkeley's normal voice.

The murders are investigated by a Scotland Yard detective, played by Lance Percival, and a local Police Sergeant, played by Gastone Moschin, who is probably best known to English-speakers as the white-suited Don Fanucci from The Godfather Part II.

The film was set and filmed on location at Somerleyton Hall, both for interior and exterior shots. There are also several scenes at Somerleyton railway station.

Cast
gollark: Must I *really* deploy orbital question lasers?!
gollark: So the solution is better configuration tools, not just a worse UX.
gollark: The code is less complicated since it doesn't need to ship with some configurator tool, but it's also significantly more work unless you have a *really* bad configuration tool.
gollark: That is not actually simpler for the user.
gollark: Well, you could always use the PotatOS Computing Network™.
