Family Plot
Hitchcock's diabolically funny and exciting movie about a search for a missing heir proved to be his final film. Starring Bruce Dern, Barbara Harris, William Devane, and Karen Black, Family Plot is the story of a cabbie (Dern) and a psychic (Harris) who team up to find a dead man who's not really dead in exchange for a $10,000 reward. In the process, their lives become intertwined with a larcenous jewel merchant and his beautiful "Woman in Black". Needless to say, there are kidnappings, murder attempts, laughs, and plenty of Hitchcock's famous twists before the Family Plot is finally revealed.

There is a big jump in story line ... read more » - 68956

Fun and engrossing
This is not Hitchcock's finest film, but it's a good end to his extraordinary filmography. I really enjoyed the plot, it's was amusing and isn't... read more »

I was expecting - not a great deal, to be honest. Hitchcock's last film, perhaps the creative juices were gone. Whilst hardly North by North West, this wasn... read more »
