Like many of Agatha Christie's mysteries, Murder on the Orient Express is predicated on an actual event, in this case the Lindbergh kidnapping. In the movie, everyone on board the Orient Express seems to have concluded that hateful financier Ratchett (Richard Widmark) was behind the abduction and murder of the infant daughter of a famed aviatrix. Thus, when Ratchett is himself found murdered, everyone is suspect. Normally, the police would handle the investigation, but the train has been stalled by a snowslide halfway between Istanbul and Paris. Thus, it's up to the insufferable but brilliant Belgian detective Hercule Poirot (an unrecognizable Albert Finney) to activate his "little grey cells" and determine who's guilty. Among the suspects are colorful characters played by Lauren Bacall, Jacqueline Bisset, Sean Connery, Wendy Hiller, John Gielgud, Anthony Perkins, Vanessa Redgrave, and Ingrid Bergman, whose performance won her a third Academy Award. (In her acceptance speech, Bergman apologized for her win, insisting that Day for Night's Valentina Cortese deserved the prize.) The first and best in a long line of contemporary Christie adaptations, the film scores on atmosphere, period detail, and richness of characterization. Hal Erickson, Rovi

Inspector Poirot was a delight, quite a quirky individual. The plot took some twists and turns and kept the viewer in suspense until the unexpected end. Agatha Christie is a master mystery writer, and her diverse cast of characters added immense interest and suspense to the story. I loved it!

A Bad Poirot
I thought I would give someone else a chance to be Hercule Poirot, but am more than ever firmly convinced David Suchet is the only one who has ever really "got it right." This one was annoying and downright insulting I think!! I wish David Suchet had made an "Orient" movie because I think it would have been wonderful. (He didn't, did he?)
