Robert Altman blends the incisive, upstairs-downstairs class study of Jean Renoir’s THE RULES OF THE GAME with an Agatha Christie–style murder mystery for this delectable, cunningly witty whodunnit, boasting a matchless ensemble cast and an Academy Award–winning script by future “Downton Abbey” creator Julian Fellowes. At a lavish estate in the English countryside in the 1930s, an illustrious array of guests convene for a weekend shooting party. But when a murder occurs, servants and guests alike must unite to find the killer—with each group offering their differing perspectives on the proceedings.
