Many people rate this as Christie’s best movie adaptation. I disagree and find several others to be better. It’s good of course but I much prefer Death on the Nile from ‘78 which is my favorite. It has great actors, much more interesting characters and possibly the best on locations sets of any film.

As for this movie, Tyrone Power’s acting is pretty awful. The way he speaks makes it seem as if he is repeating memorized lines - which he is of course lol but he’s not supposed to show it.

What’s great about this film IMO is Christie’s plot and not so much the movie itself.

Plus court room dramas suck. There I said it.

Such a disappointment of a film, that is promising a great storyline and an end from the start. I'm giving it a 6/10, just because it kept me thrilled until the final scene.[spoiler] I'm sorry but I'm not okay with the ending. Was it really supposed to be a plot twist?[/spoiler]

_"Touching isn't it? The way he counts on his wife."_
_"Yes, like a drowning man clutching at a razor blade."_

Sharp dialogue. Crisp photography. Brilliant performances. Billy Wilder directing an Agatha Christie play. The recipe for absolute perfection.

They don't make 'em like this anymore.

The ending ruins it. The whole thing is really good and interesting, but that last twist is so unnecessary that it takes away from the rest of it. A real bummer, because I was about to give it a 8 of 9 out of ten. Not now though.

How can anyone not be entertained by this movie?! Most courtroom dramas are dry but this one is funny a hell!

Kinda amazed how much shows like HTGAWM have taken this genre and really amped things up.

Revisiting this Wilder classic for the first time in a long time. I remembered a lot about this movie, like the ride up the stairs and Charles Laughton being hilarious and cranky. What I didn't remember was the ending, I was like what? then what again then what again?! Great stuff.

I was suspicious that the woman in the bar was really Dietrich in disguise because the accent was something else, but I wasn't 100%. It was 100% more convincing than the shit that went down in Body Double the other night.

I love you Wilder, but this is one of the most disappointing films I've watched. You broke my heart.

Definitely disappointed. I expected more out of this film. The **forced humor throughout the film** really takes away from the serious nature of the film. [spoiler]The subplot concerning Sir Wilfrid’s health is so unnecessary and Miss Plimsoll is obnoxious and unfunny. The ending was soap opera bad and the **script is chock-full of character exposition**.[/spoiler]
