Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? is a 1978 comedy mystery film starring George Segal, Jacqueline Bisset and Robert Morley based on the novel Someone is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe by Nan and Ivan Lyons. It was released in the U.K. under the title Too Many Chefs. The chefs are each killed in a manner reflecting their most famous dishes (for example, the lobster chef is drowned; in the book, the recipe for each dish is given). The film was co-produced by the U.S., Italy, France and West Germany. The film was originally distributed by Warner Bros. and produced by Lorimar. Warner Communications acquired Lorimar in 1989 and now owns the rights to the film.
