Death on the Nile

Slow to start, but I think the cast antics won me over by the time the second half started in. It's not that we really see Ustinov as Poirot but rather an enjoyment of Ustinov as anything, and he brings a warmth here as well as a certain excitement for the spot of chaos. Davis and Smith are a perfect duo, Farrow summons a bit of the vengeful imp, Warden murders Germany, and Lansbury fires a constant barrage towards the back rows.

Death on the Nile

this version of Poirot is not my favorite.
