Good English 'Who Done It' - MovieLover5
A good film adaptation of one of Agatha Christie's most successful murder mystery novels. The film has a stellar cast of actors (albeit all from an earlier era), which adds to the fascination of the movie. Peter Ustinov is superb as the great Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, but all the supporting cast are very good in their portrayals of possible murderers.
While you may suspect early on who the guilty is, the fun is really in the depiction of the many characters and their various reasons for possibly doing the dirty deed. The 1930's feel to the film is top notch. British murder mystery buffs will enjoy this one!
