NIGHT TRAIN TO MURDER -- starring Morecambe & Wise torrent

This TV-movie was a sad way to end 40+ years of
Eric & Ernie as a comedy team in 1983, since Eric
died the following year.

It\\\'s basically a parody of Agatha Christie
\\\"Death on a Train\\\" style movies, which is a genre
I never liked so I\\\'m biased to begin with.

There\\\'s no question that the writing is weak and
the humor uninspired, but worth a look only if
you\\\'re a Morecambe & Wise fan... which is why I tried it.

It was a BIG mistake setting this in the 1940s,
not just because the fashions and styles were so awful,
but Eric & Ernie played themselves early in their
stand-up career -- at a time when they were actually
teenagers. The guys were in their 50s in 1983, but
they couldn\\\'t have kids playing them the whole movie
or else we would never see them.
