When i watch this and the part when they were all sitting in the dining room and the guy says that at midnight theres gojing to be a murder and the murder is at this table at this very moment and so is the victim
I once recommended this movie for a class activity, innocently thinking my fellow students would enjoy it but they almost immediately objected for two odd reasons: 1) the title suggested violence and 2) didn't make sense. My teacher later expressed her sympathies because she liked the film and was irritated, too, at her students reaction. lol
This film is a masterpiece; I couldn't live without it in my film library.
Any chance your fellow students were either not familiar with the concept of parody, or not familiar with the characters being parodied in this movie? Or both? ; )
@nukleopatra88 I agree I accidentally recorded this on video from TCM one time trying to record the 1955 version of the Ladykillers late that night and when I watched it the next morning I was in love with it, IT WAS SO FUNNY! So good that it put the modern summer comedies to shame even Judd Apatow!

House like fat woman - hard to get around.
Conversation like TV on honeymoon - unnecessary.
