Movie Reviews of Death on the Nile
Movie Review: Excellent Motion Picture and Cast
Summary: 5 Stars
Death on the Nile is my favorite motion picture along with Murder On The Orient Express...This movie has an Outstanding cast giving brilliant performances of Angela Lansbury who plays Salome Otterbourne the drunken novelist -- her role was superb..should have gotten an Oscar Nomination for Best Supporting Actress for this film...glad she won the National Board of Review award. Peter Ustinov was great as Hercule Poirot, Bette Davis and Maggie Smith were terrific having comedy parts, Mia Farrow, Lois Chiles, Simon MacCorkindale, David Niven, Jack Warden, Jane Birkin, Jon Finch and George Kennnedy had great roles in this movie. I can watch Death on the Nile over and over again.Movie Review: Denial is More Than a River in Egypt!
Summary: 5 Stars
Death on the Nile is an entertaining murder mystery. The cast is great starting with Peter Ustinov, as Poirot, who, with Jane Birkin, Lois Chiles and the distinctive Bette Davis, lend their many acting talents to keep you guessing about who did it. Our family, all ages, has enjoyed watching it time and again. Our son thinks that Peter Ustinov is the ideal Poirot, while I think David Suchet is more true to Agatha Christie's Poirot. We do agree, however, that both men are superb in their portrayals. Like 'Evil Under the Sun' this movie is a hit with us. ~ Mrs. B.
Movie Review: Peter Ustinov as Poirot Rox the Casbah!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just can't get enough of peter Ustinov as the famous Christie detective Hercule Poirot. I was introduced to this and Evil Under The Sun as a kid by a good friend of mine and I gotta say that I still love these movies. Are they the best movies ever made? No. Are they a great introduction to Agatha Christie? Hell, yes! Sure, there are some minor glitches and a few over-the-top acting faux pas, but overall, this is a great movie. Ustinov, Angela Lansbury, Betty Davis . . . the list goes on and on. Great performances by all. So just sit back and take this movie for what it is, good clean murder and mystery!!!Movie Review: Poirot
Summary: 5 Stars
I am obsessed with Poirot films. This is one of my favorites. My personal favorite is Murder on the orient express. I like Ustinov's Poirot better than Finney but it is not nearly as good as David Suchet's on BBC and public television. Death on the nile is a very well made mystery film directed by John Guillermin (the guy who did Towering Inferno and the King Kong remake). I particularly like David Niven and Mia Farrow in this one, and Maggie Smith who seems to always be good. If you're a Poirot fan then this is must see. I also recommend Evil Under The Sun and Appointment in Death.Movie Review: A Disturbing But Effective Mystery
Summary: 5 Stars
First question: Did they make a mistake casting Peter Ustinov for Hercule Poirot? His interpretation (let alone appearance) is quite different from Albert Finney's, but I enjoy him in the role, especially by the end of the movies he's in.
Mia Farrow gives a disturbing portrayal of a woman deserted by her lover for a heirress. The scenery of this picture is great. Angela Lansbury has a great cameo in this movie, and David Niven makes a great Col. Hastings.
Okay, this is the end of it. I won't reveal that the murderer really is . . .
