    • Trivia
      In 1929, a westbound Orient Express train was stuck in snow for five days at Çerkezköy, approximately one hundred thirty kilometers (eighty-one miles) from Istanbul, Turkey. This incident inspired the setting of the book and movie.
    • Goofs
      In Istanbul a muezzin is heard giving the standard Muslim azan (call to prayer) in Arabic: "Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!" However, the movie is set during the 1930s when Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was in power. During this time, the Arabic azan was outlawed, and a Turkish one ("Tanri Uludur!") had to be used instead. After Atatürk's death in 1938, the law was repealed.
    • Quotes

      Foscarelli: Hey, what are you reading, Mister Beddoes?

      Beddoes: I am reading "Love's Captive," by Mrs. Arabella Richardson.

      Foscarelli: Is it about sex?

      Beddoes: No, it's about 10:30, Mister Foscarelli.

    elegant
    Impressive cast, admirable performances, the right mark of Sydney Lumet, giving elegance to a well known story. and proposing not only a good adaptation but a sort of refined delight. because it is a remarkable show of nuances and convincing translation of the traits of characters in a sort of large puzzle of splendid roles. a film impressive scene by scene. maybe not the best adaptation of Agatha Christie novel. but a memorable one. and that is real enough.
