The Last of Sheila (1973) (James Coburn, Richard Benjamin)

THE LAST OF SHEILA - 1973 IMDb Rating: 7.3 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070291/ There are certain films that age like cinematic fine wine, slowly revealing themselves as consummate movie-movies. 1973's "The Last of Sheila" is one such film. Several celebrity chums are invited aboard wicked Hollywood producer Clinton Green's (James Coburn) yacht for a cruel game of "guess the deep, dark secret." Everyone has one; but naturally some are more wicked than others. And one leads to murder. An offbeat mystery full of fine acting and actual surprises. Note: The film was written by actor Anthony Perkins (1960's Psycho) & stage genius Stephen Sondheim, who started this film as a basis of a party game they created. Perkins and Sondheim won the 1974 Edgar Allen Poe Award from the Mystery Writers of America for Best Motion Picture Screenplay. Starring: Richard Benjamin, James Coburn, James Mason, Dyan Cannon, Joan Hackett, Raquel Welch, Ian McShane. Directed by: Herbert Ross. Quality: Very Good Xvid from DVD. Length: 2hr. 00min. Language: English. Size: 688 x 384 Frame Rate: 23fps

Amazing forgotten masterpiece. Thanx a ton JayRay for bringing forth such a marvellous mystery movie.
Audio/Video quality is 10/10.
The movie is a mystery which is absolutely unlike you've ever seen. A real masterpiece indeed.
Should be included in the movie making schools' syllabus as an paragon of mystery movies.
I fail to understand as to why this movie remains unknown whereas it deserves fame like that of Ben-Hur, Gone with the Wind etc.
Once again Thanx JayRay and keep up the good work...

I saw this when it aired all those years ago and was very entertained & never forgot this film. I then moved away from the States and did not know how to get hold of it - very happy to have discovered it once again and can't wait to see it - many thanks!

Downloaded this wonderful movie with Bette Midler's great song at the end "Friends". No problems with quality, no glitches or spasms, just perfect. So nice to see this movie again after about 30 years.
