Plot Synopsis
The McCordles are a 1930's family of rich British Aristocrats who just happen to be awash with a bad mix of greedy relatives and an elderly William McCordle. When William dies, the family and friends will receive the money and spend it as they wish. However, the complex British family doesn't have to wait as long as anticipated. William is found in his office with a knife in his back. The house is a zoo as the remaining characters struggle to find the culprit, which proves to be a difficult task, since, while William McCordle was not hated, he certainly was not loved. With the added fact that he was sitting on the inheritance, everyone has a motive. -

Reviews
"This terrifically accomplished film, easily Altman's best work in a decade (since The Player and Short Cuts), is a large ensemble piece that flaunts all the who's who in British and American cinemas."—Emanuel Levyhttp://www.emanuellevy.com/search/details.cfm?id=2152"As with many of Altman's large-scale ensemble pieces, Gosford Park, set at an English country estate during a drizzly November weekend in 1932, is a love affair between performer and filmmaker. The director shows off his ardor by eliciting from his actors aspects of their gifts that they themselves may not have known they had."—Peter Rainer, New York Magazinehttp://nymag.com/nymetro/movies/reviews/5518/
