The Last of Sheila

[romantico]

Anyone ever hear or see this film? Alot of people haven't. A friend loaned me their copy last year & I watched it twice then bought a copy for myself. Watched it again last night & LOVED it more than I did the previous two times. RENT IT!!!

1. I have. Excellent film.

And interesting tidbit...Stephen Sondheim wrote the screenplay. :-)

Good film. :thumbsup:

3. terrya knows of what he speaks...GREAT ensemble whodunnit...

I'm old enough to have seen it in its theatrical release (1973)

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

On edit: terrya: this poster says screenplay by Sondheim and Anthony Perkins (!) :crazy:

4. It's an excellent whodunit, Richardo.

I rented it a few months back and watched it again. I always liked James Coburn. :-)

For first time viewers, it will keep you guessing until the very end.

7. That's right!

You know, now I'm going to have to get a DVD copy. :-)

5. Not only did Stephen Sondheim write it

He co-wrote it with Anthony Perkins. Herbert Ross, Perkins & Sondheim use to do these awsome dinner parties where they would write out mysteries & play these parlor games. The movie came from their mysteries & parties. Man, no one does that sort of stuff anymore! IMO, I think James Coburn steals the movie!

6. "Never interrupt me during my boat speech"

:rofl:

He did steal the movie.

8. A truly great novie....

I saw it when it was first put out -- smart, funny, controversial (at the time). I still try to catch it whenever I see that it's playing on TV.

On edit: Quick! Who sang the closing song???

[romantico]

9. Bette Middler!

Sings her hit "Friends". Although, another great chocie would have been Sondheim's 'Old Friends'tune. Okay, what do I win?

10. controversial? no kidding, why?

I guess having to do with the 'crimes' of the players?

11. "Give me a glass of water and a couple of lesbians. "

Just one of Christine's (Dyan Cannon) lines. :rofl:
