This is an adaptation of Agatha Christie's Appointment with Death - it localizes several elements and isn't a perfect adaptation, but it's a lot of fun. The acting is very overdone so if that kind of thing bothers you I'd advise skipping this, but I thought it was delightfully cheesy for the most part.
The difficulty comes from the overacting (some very odd ways of speaking) and also from the story being set in the 1950s (昭和３０) and thus some old fashioned language. I watched this with Japan
