    Watch it in English a while ago and loved it.
  • December 6, 2008
    It's an old-fashioned Whodunit which IS a bit dated, but the story is still good
  • August 9, 2007
    Agatha Christie's great whodunit comes again with a pack of legendary actors. Peter Ustinov is the best Poirot ever. sublime and intriguing scheme.
  • July 15, 2007
    A real Agatha Christie Treat - more luxurius than the Orient Express. Lots of nice famous actors as suspects. Peter Ustinov made a great Poirot. I liked the musical score and the exotic locations.
  • July 14, 2007
    One of the best Agatha Christie films there is. An all star cast with a great plot, full of twists make this an excellent Whodunit?

Mia Farrow was...( read more) easily the best part, especially in the beginning when you just knew she was right around the corner ...
  • March 4, 2009
    One of the better Poirot movies.
  • January 22, 2009
    The best performance of Ustinov as Puarot in perhaps the second most well-known of Christie's novels with that polymath Belgique.Tenacious gossips beneath the passengers' upper significance,aristocracy through the looking glass,literally!The supporting cast works (just observe Da...( read more)vis and Niven and even Warden!) and along with the great adaptation,here's an all-star cast film to enjoy.
