5.0 out of 5 stars Beat this Mr Suchet !, 19 Jan 2008
By Mr. Mg Reynolds "Carry On fan" (Oxfordshire UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a classy , lavish adaptation of a brilliant novel ! Albert Finney had Dame Agatha Christies blessing to play the great Hercule Poirot and watching it I can see why . Vannessa Redgrave , Sean Connery , Michael York , Lauren Bacall and Ingrid Bergman along with John Giulgud are very well cast in a film that stays loyal to the novel in question . With this film being so very impressive - it is no wonder that Sir Peter Ustinov never attempted to film his own version and that ITV have never done a David Suchet adaptation of Murder On The Orient Express . They probably feared that their efforts would suffer through being compared with Albert Finney's excellent movie . It is a piece that combines characters with real depth & substance and a powerful , dark storyline . Like Evil Under The Sun an unsolved past case is a prelude to another murder . It is every bit as clever as The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd - only the plotline is so first rate that Hastings , Japp and Miss Lemon are not needed as devices to capture the attention of the viewer via bolted on comic sub plots . But it manages to keep auidiences on the edge of their seat without the kind of raucous spicing up that so ruined the adaptation of Cards On The Table ( as broadcast in 2006 ) . The people behind Murder On The Orient Express can be well pleased with this classic , iconic film - no wonder it was the most popular British film of 1974 beating even the legendary Carry On Dick .

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely up to Agatha Christie standards, 7 Sep 2008
By bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
The movie was made as a period piece. There are great scenes of the express, landscapes, food and other items. The costumes are also very plush. Even though the movie is star studded the actors to not out shine the characters they play.

As usual Hercule is in earshot of many private conversations that will be used later to his sleuthing advantage once processed by his little gray cells. On the train Hercule (Albert Finney) is approached by an American business man who tries to heir him for protection. Hercule turns him down and the next morning the business man is dead.

This movie has everything that makes Agatha Christie movies great. Everyone is a suspect. Everybody could have done it. Only Hercule Poirot can figure this out. Naturally Hercule Poirot must sort through the red herrings to extract the truth. This time he comes up with two different answers. You need to add this one to your collection.
