- Synopsis:
- Composer Stephen Sondheim and actor Anthony Perkins wrote this witty, complex thriller directed by Herbert Ross. A movie kingpin (James Coburn), whose wife, Sheila (Yvonne Romain) was killed by a hit-and-run driver a year before, hosts a cruise aboard his sleek yacht. His guests (James Mason, Raquel Welch, Dyan Cannon, Richard Benjamin, Joan Hackett and Ian McShane) are all friends (and some lovers) who may know more about Sheila's death than they're letting on. An elaborate murder game with Mediterranean ports of call is the itinerary. What unfolds is a mystery so intriguing, so cleverly plotted, even the title is a clue!

Stick with it - The Last of Sheila review by TJ
The set up is a little over complicated in the first half hour or so but stick with it it gets better and more intriguing and is quite satisfying entertainment in the end.

Malice in the Met - The Last of Sheila review by griggs
A yacht, a murder, and a bunch of Hollywood egos tearing each other apart—The Last of Sheila is like Cluedo with cocktails and career insecurity. The script’s razor-sharp, and the cast is clearly having a ball, but it’s the deliciously mean-spirited undercurrent that gives it bite. It sags a bit in the middle, and the final twist takes its time docking, but overall, it’s a campy, clever ride and a first-class ticket to petty cruelty.
