| | | | Murder by Death: Encyclopedia II - David Niven - Biography He was born James David Graham Niven in London, England, the son of William Edward Graham Niven and French/British Henrietta Julia de Gacher, who was born in Wales.

| | | | Murder by Death: Encyclopedia II - Columbia Pictures - History The predecessor of Columbia Pictures, CBC Film Sales Corporation, was founded in 1919 by Harry Cohn, his brother Jack Cohn, and Joe Brandt. The company's reputation was so low that some joked that "CBC" stood for "Corned Beef and Cabbage." Many of the studio's early productions were low-budget affairs; the start-up CBC leased space in a poverty row studio on Hollywood's Gower Street.
Following a reorganization, partner Brandt was bought out, and for the next thirty years the Cohn brothers would take on the world (and sometimes ...

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the last solution it is said that Prof. Plum killed Mr. Boddy/Wadsworth, however, when Mr. Boddy was supposedly killed, everyone ended up in the kitchen except for Yvette. But he was absent for about three minutes, which gave him time to do the murder.
Continuity: The order of the women entering the Study when they discover Mr. Boddy's body is missing.
Continuity: In the Library, Col. Mustard's whiskey glass jumps from the table to his hand.

| | | | Murder by Death: Encyclopedia II - Peter Sellers - Biography Sellers was born in Southsea, Hampshire, England, to a family of entertainers. He attended a Catholic school, although his father was Protestant and his mother was Jewish. Probably following his family in the variety circuit, Sellers learnt this popular yet difficult art and the immediate instinct of the "gag". He was an incredibly versatile artist: an excellent dancer, a drummer good enough to tour with several jazz bands, and a skillful player of the ukulele and banjo (family legend has it that Seller's father actually taught George Formby to play the ukelele). He is known ...

The film makes reference to the infamous House Committee on Un-American Activities and the fact that McCarthyism treated homosexuals, called sexual perverts as akin to communists, or socialists. In another jab at McCarthyism, all three of the film's endings featur ...
