"An Enjoyable Christie Adaptation"
14 January 2023
This multi-cast version of "Death on the Nile" is quite enjoyable, as there are a multitude of characters to unravel and, a plot that keeps you guessing almost until the end. The Casting was superb.. It is always a pleasure to watch so many talented actors fused together in one mystery movie.. Peter Ustinovs' take on the character 'Hercule Poirot is rewarding (played with a little humour).. There have been so many different actors that have tried to capture the true authenticity of 'Christies Belgian Detective 'Hercule Poirot' but have failed tremendously. 'Peter Ustinovs' version is a pleasant & entertaining one. This movie is a rare treat and a delight to watch on a Sunday afternoon whilst awaiting dinner being prepared..:):):) To have 'Miss Bette Davis, 'Dame Maggie Smith', 'Dame Angela Lansbury' 'David Niven' 'Simon MacCorkindale' and 'Mia Farrow' to name but a few, all together in one movie, Wow.! To have so many talented actors is an absolute delight:) The other delightful performances 'Ustinov' performs in as 'Hercule Poirot' are:- 'Appointment With Death' '13 at Dinner', 'Dead Mans Folly,' 'Death on the Nile,' 'Murder in three Acts' and, 'Evil under the Sun' These mystery movies are a pleasure to watch and enjoy with family or friends, together you'll have an enjoyable experience.! Keeps the mystery & Suspense right up until the very end..!

Thumbs Up triple fold..;):):)
