    Murder on the Orient Express (1974)

    Share
    Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Reddit Email

    An exotic array of characters boards the famed Orient Express in Istanbul, including punctilious detective Hercule Poirot. However, even his presence cannot prevent a fellow passenger’s murder.

    Albert Finney is extremely shouty and a little too aggressive as fussy Belgian detective Poirot but earned an Oscar nomination for his performance. It’s not a patch on David Suchet’s definitive portrayal in the long-running London Weekend Television production of Poirot.

    The supporting cast does everything that is expected of it, with Ingrid Bergman’s Oscar-winning turn just about the pick of a stellar selection.
