Michael Schlesinger on

A Haunting in Venice

Released 2023
Distributor Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

More concerned with “what is it” than “who done it”, Hercule Poirot takes a break from flesh and blood villains to hobnob with the supernatural variety in Kenneth Branagh’s adaption of Agatha Christie’s 1969 novel, Hallowe’en Party. This is Branagh’s third go-round as the snippy Belgian detective and as usual, he’s surrounded by a great supporting cast including Tina Fey, Jude Hill, and Michelle Yeoh as a mysterious psychic.

About Michael Schlesinger

Michael Schlesinger is widely acknowledged as the dean of classic film distributors, having worked for more than 25 years at MGM, Paramount and Sony, keeping hundreds of vintage movies in theatrical release (and later DVD), and instigating the restoration of many more, including the completion of Orson Welles' 1942 documentary It's All True some 50 years later. Behind the camera, he wrote and produced the American version of Godzilla 2000, co-produced such Larry Blamire parodies as The Lost Skeleton Returns Again and Dark and Stormy Night, and has written, produced and directed several short films featuring the faux-1930s comedy team of Biffle and Shooster. No power on Earth will ever convince him that It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World is not the Greatest. Movie. Ever.

You are absolutely correct Michael. The trailer sucked but I really enjoyed the movie! I hope that Branagh will do more of these, although I don’t know if the studio will go for it…
