Food Movies We Love: Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?

Forget about Big Night. Forget about Mystic Pizza. Forget, even, numerous barbecue documentaries.

Check out Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? Here, dear readers, is the food movie to end all food movies (well, except that numerous food movies have been produced since 1978, when this movie was made. But whatever.).

Anyway, the title basically tells you what the plot is, but it's got one foot in farce and another squarely planted in the Agatha Christie backlist (think And Then There Were None meets Delicatessen by way of the Pink Panther series).

Need more? It's got Jaqueline Bisset. Admittedly, it's long past her Bullitt days, but she's still great. I'll take her in a food movie anyday.  At least until the uber-graceful Julianne Moore makes a food movie.
