(1979) Toshiyuki Nishida, Isao Natsuyagi, Haruko Wanibuchi, Tomoko Saitô. This is a really well-made Japanese “locked room” murder mystery set in the 1930s. The famous Nipponese detective Kindaichi is called in to investigate a number of horrible slayings. His investigations soon point the finger at members of a wealthy family—a family that, as it turns out, has many dark secrets to hide. This is a great whodunit, loaded with all kinds of twists, turns, and unexpected events. Great color, from 35mm.
