Whodunnit worthy of Agatha Christie; James Coburn is a manipulative party host on board his luxury yacht, but he gets killed, and the rest of the film follows the deduction of what happens from intricate clues. If you like that sort of thing it's considered to be a good film; for me the improbability and the details got in the way.
[By the way, when someone has to lift a heavy stone, why doesn't the Director insist on it being heavy, and not obviously expanded polystyrene?]
Coburn's death comes when he has set up a game in which the guests are all dressed as monks, in a deserted island monastery. For reasons of his own he wishes to impersonate one of the female guests, so he is wearing lipstick and a wig.
