To celebrate Key West Mystery Fest, the Tropic Cinema will be showing classic mysteries every Monday night in May at 7 PM.

On May 7, the movie will be the hysterically funny Murder by Death — with the amazing cast of Peter Falk, Alec Guinness, Elsa Lanchester, David Niven, Peter Sellers, Maggie Smith, Nancy Walker, James Coco, Estelle Winwood and a rare performance by Truman Capote.

A group of detectives, each accompanied by a relative or associate, is invited to “dinner and a murder” by the mysterious Lionel Twain (Capote). Having lured his guests to his mansion, managed by a blind butler and a deaf-mute cook, Twain announces that it is in fact he who is the greatest detective in the world. In order to prove his claim, he challenges the guests to solve a murder which will take place in the house at midnight that very night; a reward of $1 million will be presented to the winner.You can only imagine what follows.
