Customer Reviews

I have never seen such a reptile in a first-class cabin.

This is a good adaptation of the book. After watching "Evil under the Sun" (1982) and "Appointment with Death" (1988), you naturally think of Peter Ustinov as Hercule Poirot. The movie is packed with great actors, yet even though you recognize them, they do not distract from the characters they play. It was a nice touch when the kids along the shore mooned Mrs. Van Schuyler (Bette Davis) as kids would do everywhere. Simon (Simon MacCorkindale) and his new bride Linnet (Lois Chiles) are being pursued by Jacqueline De Bellefort (Mia Farrow), the girl he jilted. Once on board a boat going down the Nile, bodies are dropping like flies. Everyone is a suspect. Everybody could have done it, as we see the proof acted out. And yet n-o-b-o-d-y could have done it as all alibis hold up. Only Hercule Poirot can logically figure this out. Naturally, as usual, Hercule Poirot is in the right place at the right time to hear everything and extract the truth.
