The List of Adrian Messenger

1963 film directed by John Huston starring George C. Scott, Kirk Douglas, Dana Wynter.

Murder mystery with an interesting twist: stars Tony Curtis, Robert Mitchum, Frank Sinatra, and Burt Lancaster all appear in cameo roles but are disguised. Half the fun is trying to pick out who's under the heavy make-up and prosthetics. It adds to the enjoyment but the film holds up on its own as a suspenseful mystery.
