by comparison

A good example of a film that would benefit from being edited down to the regulation 90 minutes. For those with a taste for comedy based on a man planning to murder his wife (and why not?) I'd suggest trying the superior Divorzio all'italiana (1961), and in a broader context of murderous black comedy, Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949).

I beseech ye in the bowels of Christ, think that ye may be mistaken.
