The Last of Sheila (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070291/)

Who's seen this one? It has been 20 years for me but I recall being thoroughly entertained. Check out the cast. Richard Benjamin was always a favorite and it is too bad he has barely done anything over the last decade. The Last Of Sheila is a real romp not unlike an Agathat Christie whodunit and he rocks in it.

As an aside, perhaps the only reason I became aware of him at all was due to a chance encounter in '70 or '71. My sister was going to school in NorCal and when we would go visit her we would often daytrip to Carmel. One time she, my mom, & 10YO me we were getting pastries in a bakery and sitting at the next table was Richard Benjamin. He would have been in his early 30's or so and he was hitting on either my mom or my sister while chatting up the other! To this day neither is sure which! All I remember was movie star being whispered to me by my sister. And of course for the rest of the day that was all they talked about.

It's one of my favorite movies !
I remember it well as a very entertaining whodunit even though it probably wouldn't rate so well today. Great show.

And recorded it then, too. Should still have it on that old tape.

SPOILER ALERT


My favorite line from the movie, when the suspect after being pinpointed as guilty by the slueth, stands up from behind a lounge with a puppet on each hand and says....................."I don't have any gloves"

I love this movie. Always have. Saw it again on TV a few years back. What joy!

And I also have a relative in it (and this person ain't an extra). Shhhh! I won't tell who, but it's true!

Anyhow, great movie & great cast as well (bias aside).

Cheers
