    I watched Death on the Nile (1978) while inking comics this morning, I think it's my favourite Poirot movie. Murder on the Orient Express got Oscars but Death on the Nile has that Very Unwell ending that still whips 45 years later. It's on Kanopy if anyone wants to watch.

    Gf asked if "Murder on the Orient Express" was the inspiration for Polar Express. I had to tell her: A) I haven't seen Polar Express B) I doubt that Disney made a movie about Santa solving a murder on a train C) literally all I want is a movie about Santa solving a murder on a train.

    Books to film 📚=🎞️ Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie was adapted to film twice (1974/2017). The latest by K. Branagh doesn't confine the story entirely to the train & his Poirot is less of a mystery; more human. The film also shifts to a critique of colonilism. 🚂🔪🕵️‍♂️ #filmsky #booksky

    This, in addition to it being far better done and having one the best reveals in murder movie history, is why the 1974 Murder on the Orient Express is by far the best one. Even Poirot is like "Eh, guess there's a dilemma but guy was a shit. The law's basically made up (and cops are incompetent).

    A curious fact that Reginald Rose wrote it as a teleplay,which he adapted for the screenplay of this movie. It didn't become a stage play until later. Usually, these things happen the other way around. 🤷 Also amazing that Lumet directed Serpico, Network, and Murder on the Orient Express, too. 🤩

    Watched Sidney Lumet's film adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express. Good fun with quite the ensemble cast, of course, and Albert Finney's hysterical, hyperactive Poirot is a classic take on the character for a reason. But I was struck especially by quite how effective the use of music was.

    I started with Joan Hickson's MISS MARPLE. It was so perfect that I went for David Suchet's POIROT too. More than entertainment--it's a lifestyle. I'd also strongly suggest the Sidney Lumet movie, MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS with the old movie stars: Ingrid Bergman Lauren Bacall & Anthony Perkins.
