The Last of Sheila (1973)
On the anniversary of his wife Sheila’s death, Clinton Green (James Coburn) invites six friends aboard his yacht for a week of murder-mystery games in the French Riviera. While each of his friends is wary of the invitation, their Hollywood ambitions keep them obliged to powerful producer Clinton. Their trepidation is warranted, as Clinton uses the group’s secrets against them during the cruel parlor games he’s orchestrated as a means to find who is responsible for the hit-and-run accident that killed Sheila. However, shortly into the macabre vacation, Clinton also ends up dead. Now it’s up to the remaining passengers to solve this Agatha Christie-style whodunit.
