MCT:September 23, 2008While Ustinov isn't among the top Poirots, the cast for this movie is incredible. Wonderfully played out, the plot is gripping and brilliant. The setting is beautiful and exotic, giving the actors a good playground for their characters.

The best performance of Ustinov as Puarot in perhaps the second most well-know 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 Davis and Niven and even Warden!) and along with the great adaptation,here's an all-star cast film to enjoy.

MCT:April 17, 2008Tremendous suspense flick with a impeccable cast led by the charismatic Peter Ustinov. Death on the Nile is a very stylish murder mystery with some memorable one liners which shouldn't be missed. Complete entertainment.

I love this one... Am a big fan of the whodunnit movies.... This movie actually made me hunt down the book and read that also! Great read for any bookworms out there.

Agatha Christie's great whodunit comes again with a pack of legendary actors. Peter Ustinov is the best Poirot ever. sublime and intriguing scheme.

I had first watched this many years ago before I knew of big names like Bette Davis and Angela Lansbury and Maggie Smith. I only remembered that I loved the story and I loved Agatha Christie. Now watching it again it only reaffirms that love I felt. It's quite a fabulous and clever story, not particularly meaningful but infinitely entertaining, peppered with some fabulous supporting roles by aging Bette Davis and relatively youngish Maggie Smith.

I love Agatha Christie's mysteries. I fell in love with Simon Maccorkindale after watching this movie.

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?

The plot is predictable only because there is no suspense whatsoever. It becomes tedious because the audince knows that no matter how clear EVERYONE has a motive the killer is precisely the person who couldn't have, yet Poirot knows exactly how it happened. All the audience has to do is sit tight and wait for him to spell it out. The only saving grace is Bette Davis making one of her later, but incomparable performances.

mystery/crime is one of my favorite genres (if the film is done right...usually the brits know how to get it done). this one (like most of the other ustinov poirot films) is just so engaging and great. plus..bette davis, david niven and so many others are in this phenomenal cast

MCT:June 3, 2007Another Agatha Christie novel turned into a big buget production with a big name cast just like "Murder on the Orient Express". I liked "Murder" better, but this one is close. A good performance by Peter Ustinov as Poirot. A woman who stole another's finacee is killed on a ship down the nile and vessel is loaded with possible suspects. Can Hercule save the day again? It's defineltey worth watching to see how he does it.

A very good film, but delivered in an almost identical manner to Murder on the Orient Express, which I guess goes to show that directing a British murder mystery in the 1970s was a pretty colorless affair. Even in a place as exotic as Egypt, this still feels almost interminably British. Fortunately, though, this movie manages to draw great things from the cast and the source material.
Death on the Nile is a little overlong, at 2:20, and Ustinov is probably the weakest Poirot I've seen on the screen (the film's losing point to its Orient Express precursor). That aside, though, this is certainly a Christie adaptation worth watching. Both the plot and the characters are some of the most memorable she's ever written, and the performances fit them flawlessly here. -

Excellent all-star cast, with Bette and Angela Lansbury trying to out-ham each other at every turn. So well done, however, and remains one of the greatest Agatha Christie adaptations of all time. The cast alone are worth their weight in gold.

MCT:February 7, 2007I'm a Peter Ustinov fan, and don't recall him ever being in a bad movie. The scenery and settings in this movie are great.

I've been on an Agatha Christie kick lately, and especially a Hercule Poirot kick. I just love these movies and Ustinov is wonderful as the Belgian sleuth. David Niven serves wonderfully as his number one buddy and partner. The plot, I thought, was a little easy to figure out, but I loved the movie and the exceptional cast. Maggie Smith, Angela Lansbury, Niven, and George Kennedy do wonderful jobs as always. I enjoyed Lois Chiles and Bette Davis very much.

MCT:December 28, 2006Pretty good, especially Ustinov, just a nice kinda who-dunnit, interesting and if you've read Christie's book you'd know it's a pretty decent storyline!

Once again, Peter Ustinov. What can I say? He's awesome! The best Hercules Poirot ever. And the story is really cool, though Agatha's best work was "10 Little Indians." Haven't watched a film version of that one, though the book/play is really awesome. Creepy, creepy, creepy!!!

This is my favourite movie involving Peter Ustinov as Hercule Poroit - due largely in part to the fact that it's set in Egypt.
