"He was a hard-hearted randy old sod."
A wealthy, aristocratic industrialis, Sir William McCordle (Michael Gambon) is throwing a hunting weekend for a number of other socialites. When he turns up dead, the who-dunnit begins for there are many friends, family members, and staff members who would benefit from his death.
Also in the very large; cast are Kristin Scott Thomas as McCordle's young wife Lady Sylvia; Alan Bates as the butler Jennings; Helen Mirren as the housekeeper Mrs. Wilson; Jeremy Northam as the film star Ivor Novello; and Maggie Smith as McCordle's dependent aunt.

Rated R for some language and brief sexuality.
My personal rating: B-
