At the point where Niven says "everybody could have done it and they all had a reason to, it's incredible!" I wanted to scream "no it's not, you're in an Agatha Christie novel". As with Orient Express, the writing is droningly formulaic, trivializes death and on several occasions sinks to laugh-inducing stupidity, and It's the all-star cast alone that carries the entire production. Aside from a bad German accent from Jack Warden, the performances are the film's one redeeming feature.

More ham than the deli counter, but that suits Christie's writing pretty well if you ask me.

A very straightforward Christie adaptation, with all the high and low points that implies. Ustinov is no David Suchet, of course, but he's a fun Poirot, emphasizing the jolly, conceited aspects of the character. I love Angela Lansbury here, Mia Farrow puts in an intense performance, and Maggie Smith looks *amazing* in a suit jacket. Nothing that I'd put in my Top Murder Mysteries list, but an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon, and way better than the contemporary Orient Express.

Lovely constructed, not rushing into action. All the characters have their special traits, and Peter Ustinov is great as the omniscient Belgian.

I'm a big fan of whodunits, and this is one of the very best ones. For once Poirot is a human being instead of a joke, and both the mystery and the solution is very elegant.

The cast is not as strong as in "Murder in the Orient Express" with the exception of the funny dueat of Maggie Smith-Betty Davies and Mia Farrow - who steals the show! Very fun whodunit.

A cunning, sharp, perfectly told, superbly acted whodunit. The reenactments in this movie are almost surprisingly unnerving and the cast is very compelling.
