Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express [DVD] [DVD]
Product number:
2674
Product description
The first of several lavish Christie adaptations from producers John Brabourne and Richard Goodwin, introducing Albert Finney as the first screen Hercule Poirot. This 1974 production of Agatha Christie's 1934 classic is a judicious mixture of mystery, murder and nostalgia. Which member of the all-star cast, onboard the luxurious train, perforated the no-good American tycoon with a dagger twelve times? Was it Ingrid Bergman's shy Swedish missionary; or Vanessa Redgrave's English rose; Sean Connery as an Indian Army Colonel: Michael York or Jacqueline Bisset; perhaps Lauren Bacall; Anthony Perkins or John Gielgud as the victim's impassive butler. Finney spreads unease among them with subdued wit and finesse.
Arguably the most successful screen adaptation of a Christie novel, in addition to Bergman's Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, 'Murder On The Orient Express' achieved nominations for Best Actor, Screenplay, Photography, Costume Design and Music Score.
