Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?

In Brief: Apart from the enjoyable business of seeing actually pleasant, attractive people in a cleverly written romantic comedy (something we see far too little of these days), Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? is generally representative of the kind of star comedy that no longer seems to be made. You know the kind: tailored cinematic vehicles for movie stars that serve no real function other than providing a couple of hours of entertainment, and that manage to do so with a seeming minimum of effort. Essentially, it's a slightly silly romantic comedy with George Segal and Jacqueline Bisset as a divorced couple — both working in very different capacities in the world of food — who become involved in the self-descriptive mystery of the title. Holding things together is a very funny Robet Morley as a wonderfully sarcastic gourmand. This excerpt was taken from a review by Ken Hanke published on May 5, 2015.
