User Reviews
Mia Farrow is incredible in this follow up to “Murder on the Orient Express.” Sells the suspense and spine tingles better than the remake.
Despite some changes, it’s oa neat and well-paced version, with a strong, entertaining cast that keeps things engaging throughout.
An absolute crime and mystery classic. Despite being slow, it's full of great actors and has a dynamic narrative structure.
Big diff in the Poirot show episode & this version as will B the new remake 4 sure, but they are equally enjoyable if U R a Christie freak!
Classic Agatha C - Poirot murder mystery. You know what you get, but it delivers.
Even though this is a slow-going movie, i did not get bored of any part of it. Furthermore it has lots of outstanding actors.
Its exotic locals and a stunning masterclass of actors. Makes this agatha christie adaptation a must see.
Strong accuracy to the book, great performances and a stunning aesthetic that holds up well for being from the 70s.
A great Agatha Christie murder mystery. Always a fun time
Ustinov might be more Ustinov than Poirot but you can't help but adore the fun and style in this star-packed adaptation.
