This film version is the best take on this Agatha Christie novel, and it's score and cast is unbeatable. I would definitely recommend Agatha Christie's Endless Night from 1972, even if you know the book...

Thanks for including the cover artwork sketch too, I love looking at poster sketches. Death on the Nile is one of my favorite of the Hercule Poirot films. Everyone seems to tout David Suchet as being the ideal Hercule but I love Peter Ustinov the best. Even when I read Agatha Christie's stories I give Hercule a Peter Ustinov accent.

I agree the gorgeous clothes and locations are almost too good - lovely to watch. And Mia Farrow'd perfomance as Jacqui is brilliant - so vulnerable. No wonder Poirot develops a soft spot for her, eh? Really must re-watch the film and re-read the book - thanks for the reminder! :)FictionFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06212537466233602766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5719905867000998397.post-34765111542518257352016-09-17T11:36:33.978-03:002016-09-17T11:36:33.978-03:00Hey, Le

Your descriptions are quite lovely, and I agree wholeheartedly, mysteries tend to lose their excitement when we know who the murderer is. However, I am looking forward to seeing this film, thanks for the recommendation. <br /><br />If you are a Poirot fan or a mystery fan I highly recommend the comedy "Murder By Death." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXn8CsQU1-U<br /><br />Ciao for now, Summer!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5719905867000998397.post-24662743914451290722016-09-17T09:47:28.946-03:002016-09-17T09:47:28.946-03:00I think this film is the closest I will ever get t...I think this film is the closest I will ever get to sailing on the exotic Nile. If I were to do so, I would prefer it with all the glamour associated with this Agatha Christie story.<br /><br />I loved your personal and thorough review of this rewarding story in both novel and film. Well done!Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5719905867000998397.post-52777294289122066922016-09-17T07:39:58.027-03:002016-09-17T07:39:58.027-03:00I also thank you for participating, Le, your revie...I also thank you for participating, Le, your review made me think of what Agatha Christie would have thought of this adaptation. I know she was a harsh critic of all the movies based on her books and I think it's a shame they waited until after her death with this one or with Murder on the Orient Express (I've seen that, but not this). She might have prefered them more than the previous movies. Even so, my favourite Poirot has always been Mr. Suchet, he just can't get him wrong :)<br />DomiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794638809237496535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5719905867000998397.post-39376719553383489392016-09-17T00:44:24.108-03:002016-09-17T00:44:24.108-03:00It would be lovely to take a trip on the Nile!

Though that's a great quote from Bette Davis about building the Nile for her. :)<br /><br />I've read the book, but not seen this movie, but I'm definitely going to have to. What a stunning cast! Isn't it lovely to read an unread book for the first time? New books always feel so nice and fresh.<br /><br />Thanks so much for participating and highlighting this movie! Can't wait to see it! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
