Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Over-extended and sloppily characterised Agatha Christie whodunit, with Ustinov's Poirot investigating the murder of an heiress aboard a steamer in the 30s. Nostalgic period recreation is everything, with the cast reduced to a gallery of stylish eccentrics and the whole film slavishly modelled on the earlier Murder on the Orient Express.Author: GA

- Posted on Sep 28 2007 19:07 One of the best movies based on Agatha Christy's novel. Only wish Poirot was acted by David Suche.
