I originally said that I hoped I wouldn't screw it up & of course I did! The last connection that I was thinking of was actually NOT from Murder By Death, but from Peters other Neil Simon movie, The Cheap Detective. Sorry about that. So anyway, what do The Cheap Detective & The Most Crucial Game have in common?
hey look C.G.!! i changed my name just for this post!! we '57 people have to stick together!!
ok....the only thing i can get from the movie the cheap detective is that i know vic tayback had a small role in it, but he was in suitable for framing.........so i can't quite get the connection to the most crucial game...me confused.....
Sorry it took me so long to get back on line and give the answer. Anyway, the connection I was looking for is that both The Cheap Detective & The most Crucial Game have female characters that speak with a Russian accent and try to hide it from Peter. I knew it was a little esoteric. Sorry. I thought my "rushin'" clue might help.
I can think of a very general (probably TOO general) one, and that's that it has a detective who (though he's a "tough-talking" one) never shoots or even (I think) hits anyone (even though he makes Paul Williams beat HIMSELF up!). But one thing that occured to me even before this question is that the Ann-Margret character accidentally gives away an East European accent, like Valerie Harper's character in "The Most Crucial Game." Could that possibly be one?
