Agatha, Stop That Murdering! (German: Agatha, laß das Morden sein!) is a 1960 West German comedy crime film directed by Dietrich Haugk and starring Johanna von Koczian, Klausjürgen Wussow and Elisabeth Flickenschildt.[1] It is a parody both of the ongoing film series of Edgar Wallace adaptations but also the traditions of the mystery novels of Agatha Christie.

The film's sets were designed by the art directors Franz Bi and Bruno Monden. It was shot at the Bavaria Studios in Munich.

Plot

A famous female crime novelist goes to stay in a country house, where a killer is on the loose.
