    Edit
    • Trivia
      The photograph Agatha looks at in the end is of the real Agatha Christie and her second husband, Max Mallowan, at Tell Halaf, Syria, in the 1930's, suggesting that this scene takes place years after the events of the movie. Another clue: Agatha is shown re-titling her latest manuscript from "The Truth of Murder" to "Death on the N-". Death on the Nile was first published in 1937.
    • Goofs
      The neck-tie (dark with stripes) that Agatha wears as the legal assistant changes several times during a single scene. The knot may or may present a stripe.
    • Quotes

      Agatha Christie: What if Sherlock Holmes had never existed?

      Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: Good riddance to an intolerable dick.

    • Crazy credits
      Disclaimer in end credits: "This film has not been endorsed, licensed or authorised by the estate of Agatha Christie or by Agatha Christie Limited."

    Absolutely loved it.
    Didnt expect to enjoy this as much as I did. Superb performances all round from a great cast. I would definitely watch Ruth Bradley as Agatha Christie again...fantastic. And Ralph Ineson as detective inspector Dicks is worthy of his own series...in my opinion.

    • Is this based on a real-life murder?
    • Is Mabel based on a real person and was she in a relationship with Florence?
