KC K Jul 29 Ustinov is genius as Poirot. Actors are good to great yet always Med chic entertaining with the classic mix of different personalities all Christie stories have. Watched this many times as a teenager back in the 80s - never grew tired of the sounds, visuals & storyline.

It surprised me, as well as the clever set up, and Poirot's deconstruction of the clues, See more Ben W Jan 10 No option to delete my review. Put the stars in the middle. sorry. Today was a Sunday 16.2.25ce See more Mr P Dec 28 80s fashion ruins this adaptation. Just 4 years after Death on the Nile. A lot of the cast look idiotic, distracts from a great story. Silly hairstyles, shoulder pads and lots of plastic bangles. Like a glam rock version of Macbeth. See more Michael C 10/03/2024 The late Peter Ustinov's second portrayal of Hercule Poirot is a very good and entertaining movie. Ustinov is, as usual, terrific as the Belgian detective investigating the murder of a popular actress. Ustinov is once again helped by a terrific supporting cast which features the late Maggie Smith (Who is nothing short of excellent as usual.) and the late Roddy McDowall among others. The movie is also filmed very well with lavish filming locations and costume design. The best part of the movie for me was when Poirot explained what happened and identified the murderer. While I still believe "Death on the Nile" is the best film to feature Ustinov as Poirot (and the best film adaptation hands down), "Evil Under the Sun" is a very good movie that is definitely worth seeing. Agatha Christie's novel of the same title which is the basis for the movie is well worth reading too.

This film definitely falls into that category. These movies were long (this one was about 2 hours), well-written, and the acting bar was set low for the acting performances (even though the actors were well-paid). The locations were always exquisite and well filmed. Here is where my bias (4 stars) plays a part. To a true mystery aficionado, anything that Agatha Christie writes is biblical. Therefore, my movie ratings of those star-studded spectacular Christie films such as "Death on the Nile" or "Murder on the Orient Express" will always reveal my bias. See more Read all reviews
