Viewing Notes
Not sure if there’s a better release out there but if not this movie needs one. The DVD is fine but severely dated and doesn’t look so hot now. Enjoyed this film more than EVIL UNDER THE SUN, which also featured Ustinov as Poirot. I think he’s better here and I like this crazy cast more. Plus the story is fun w/everyone on this cruise down the Nile. Quite brutal, too (the murders). I’m excited to see the new version of this story next year (I think it’s coming out next year?).
