What makes this particular film a cult classic? A brief synopsis: Sheila Green is dead, the victim of a rather nasty hit-and-run. But the accident that took her life is just the start of the dark deeds. Sheila's husband, movie mogul Clinton Green, has an exceptionally wicked parlor game in mind, one that just might uncover Sheila's murderer. Along the way, there are puzzles to solve and old secrets to be revealed. The screenplay is by Anthony Perkins and Stephen Sondheim, names you might recognize; both are noted puzzle fanatics. Finally, this one is a feast for all the senses, as much of the film is set in the south of France.

E. The number of minutes Christine wants to tan on her stomach DIVIDED by 5.
F. The number of letters in the title of Tom's yet-to-be-produced screenplay MINUS the number of players that don't solve the first night's game.
