The Old Dark House. 1963.
A American staying in England is invited to a house by his friend, when he arrives his friend is dead and is introduced to his friend's family who seem to be getting killed in mysterious circumstances.
William's Castle's homage to the old 30s-40s dark house murder mystery movies but this has a odd ball of characters and some good laughs in it that makes it entertaining. Tom Poston plays the car salesman who is invited the a big country house and finds himself involved in a mystery. Fenella Fielding plays the relative who has a over protective mute father, Mervyn Johns plays the eccentric who has built a ark and believes the ending is coming and Robert Mortley who thinks the American is a distant relative to the family. Mad cap comedy with some suspense but certainly worth a watch.
