See How They Run is a comedic murder mystery released in 2022.Set in 1953 London, the film chronicles a (heavily fictionalized) version of the 100th performance of Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap. American director Leo Köpernick (Adrien Brody) plans to direct a film version of the play but he is murdered before he can do so. What's more, seemingly everyone involved in the productions — including pompous screenwriter Mervyn Cocker-Norris (David Oyelowo), manipulative theater producer Petula Spencer (Ruth Wilson), affable film producer John Woolf (Reece Shearsmith) and leading couple Richard Attenborough (Harris Dickinson) and Sheila Sim (Pearl Chanda) — had it out for Leo. It is now up to Inspector Stoppard (Sam Rockwell) and his partner Constable Stalker (Saoirse Ronan) to catch the killer before anyone else turns up dead.In case you were wondering, the film does not give away the famous twist ending of The Mousetrap. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: The film ends with Stoppard addressing the audience as "co-conspirators" and requesting they not spoil the ending. This echoes the warning given to audience members of The Mousetrap at the conclusion of each performance. | |

Wrong Genre Savvy | |
| See How They Run / int_20a14df0 | comment |
Wrong Genre Savvy: Leo Köpernick's opening narration assumes that he is in a story about the drama of adapting a boring British "whodunit" into an exciting Hollywood movie. He does not realize until it is too late that he is actually in a British "whodunit" story and his actions have put him firmly into the role of the murder victim. | |

It Will Never Catch On | |
| See How They Run / int_3149c4b0 | comment |
It Will Never Catch On: Petula blows past the clause in the contract about how a movie can't be made until after the theatrical production of The Mousetrap closes, saying that the play is a whodunit and that once people know whodunit, "Audiences are bound to drop off." The Mousetrap famously never did close, except for when all theatrical productions were closed during the COVID-19 pandemic. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall | |
| See How They Run / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: A lot of this, as the film affectionately parodies murder mystery conventions and Agatha Christie tropes while also following them. In the opening, Leo in his narration grouses about how whodunits have to have an "interminable prologue" where all the characters are introduced, before the most unsympathetic one is murdered, while of course that is exactly what is happening onscreen as all the characters are being introduced before Leo himself is killed. Mervyn sarcastically notes how flashbacks in murder mysteries are a cliche, before the film immediately cuts to a flashback. He then snarks "What's next, a caption that says 'Three Weeks Later'?", before just such a caption cuts to the next part of the flashback. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| See How They Run / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: The film makes use of the fact that The Mousetrap was inspired by a real life case but takes several liberties with the truth in order to tell the story. The O'Neill family's name is changed to Corrigan to match the characters in the play and there is no evidence that the surviving brother ever plotted revenge on Agatha Christie or anyone involved with the play. At the end, Stoppard is awarded the King's Police and Fire Services Medal; however, the award was no longer given to living recipients after 1950, and in 1952 would have been the Queen's Police and Fire Services Medal to reflect the recent ascension of the late Queen; given that Köpernick is narrating, however, it could easily be a mistake on his part. | |

Beware the Silly Ones: Agatha Christie is depicted as a bit of an odd recluse who requires her husband to act as a Cloudcuckoolander's Minder. She tries to put an end to the killer with a poisoned cup of tea (accidentally killing her butler) and would have beheaded him with a shovel if Max didn't stop her. | |

Significant Name Overlap: Not only do Leo and Stoppard both have exes named Joyce, both Joyces are also "plain" brunettes with prominent glasses. Having only a name and a photograph to go off of, Stalker assumes the Joyces are the same woman and Stoppard murdered Leo in a crime of passion. She is abashed when they turn out to be different people. | |

Truth in Television | |

Truth in Television: The film mentions a clause in Christie's contract that no film version of The Mousetrap can be made until six months after it concludes its theatrical run. This is true, which is why no adaptation has been made in the 70 years the play has been running. Indeed, this film may be as close we ever get. Richard Attenborough and Sheila Sim really were in the original production of The Mousetrap, with Attenborough starring as Trotter. | |

Then of course in the film the characters are invited to just such a gathering, although the trope is subverted when the murderer reveals themselves rather than being revealed by the detective. | |

Taking the Bullet | |
| See How They Run / int_9ce6492a | comment |
Taking the Bullet: Invoked — as part of his Actionized Adaptation of The Mousetrap, Köpernick pitches a revised climax where the detective manages to shoot the killer twice, only for his gun to jam at the wrong moment. The downed killer shoots at the detective, only for the latter's partner to dramatically leap in and get shot while pushing him away. Mervyn thinks it's dumb. Naturally, a very similar situation happens when Stoppard faces down Dennis. Stalker leaps to save Stoppard and thinks she doesn't feel anything because she got shot in the attempt...only to realize that Stoppard got nicked instead. | |

Foreshadowing: Köpernick creates some storyboard art of how he envisions the climax of his version of The Mousetrap. The climax of this film plays out in the exact same way. Two characters lampshade it, expressing gratitude that Mervyn, the screenwriter who disapproved of Köpernick's ending, was not there to see it happen. | |

Shout-Out | |
| See How They Run / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Inspector Stoppard is named after Tom Stoppard who wrote The Real Inspector Hound, a parody of The Mousetrap. Describing Leo's behavior to Stoppard, Dickie and Sheila say "He was a real hound, inspector." Inspector Stoppard tells Constable Stalker "the play's the thing" before they watch The Mousetrap. He is quoting Hamlet and referring to the play within a play that will "catch the conscience of a king". Hamlet describes that play as "The Mousetrap". Stalker asks where in France the concierge at the Savoy is from, only to be informed he is Belgian - a common mistake made by those meeting Hercule Poirot. Mervyn Cocker-Norris, the screenwriter adapting The Mousetrap, lives in Florin Court, a building known to fans of Poirot as Whitehaven Mansions, Poirot's residence. Fellowes, Christie and Mallowan's butler, is named after Julian Fellowes, the screenwriter of the Christie-esque Gosford Park. His appearance is also heavily inspired by Hercule Poirot. Priestley, an unseen colleague of Stoppard, is presumably named for J.B. Priestley, the writer of the other most famous British Murder Mystery play, An Inspector Calls. The reason why Stoppard and Stalker are basically the only police assigned to the murder of Köpernick is the rest of the squad is apparently busy investigating the murders at 10 Rillington Place.note Richard Attenborough would play Christie in the movie version of 10 Rillington Place. A sign saying Norman Gale: Dentist can be seen while Constable Stalker is looking for Inspector Stoppard after she spots Woolf. | |
