. . . by bands of indigenous Egyptian terrorists wielding AR15s, it seems very quaint to Harken back to the Innocent Days of the 1900s, when foreign sight-seers in that country nosing around the Great Pyramids only need to worry about their derringer-toting fellow travelers bumping them off. Now that every major American City features multiple No-Go Zones in which slain outsiders are blamed for their own demise if they foolishly perish by stumbling into one, it's hard to imagine a Yesteryear in which Mainstream Western People expected to traipse around safe and secure in Nice, London, Brussels, or Cairo--let alone Charleston, Philadelphia, Baltimore or Washington, DC. But in 1978 DEATH ON THE NILE was as much of a Non Sequitar as a movie titled PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST would be Today. It was almost unprecedented to see someone like the crone from MURDER SHE WROTE suddenly having her brains blown out in 1978, but now this happens almost daily in Real Life to grannies, toddlers, and babies alike in Chicago and many other American Urban Areas. When Jimmy Carter was president, movie goers could hit the theaters counting on more people getting killed ON the screen than OFF-. Who among us would be so complacent Today?

After watching every Poirot episode played by David Suchet I knew the bar was set very high. However Peter Ustinov gives a marvellous portrayal of the famous Belgian detective. His acting is effortless as he easily slips into Hercule Poirot's shoes in this mystery. He is very believable as a the great sleuth and you feel he has been doing this all his life. This also happened to be one of the best Agatha Christie Poirot novels that was dramatized. A mystery so well planned and executed it would fool the best of us. The supporting cast was superb as well and gave great performances. We have a rich list of acclaimed stars giving life to Agatha Christie's characters.

This is such fun. Starting with a cast of some of the best actors of the day to a murder for which there are about a dozen suspects. It is classic falling dominoes. One person is killed and that death causes another assailant to surface. It isn't long before another one goes down. The charm is that Hercule Poirot is on the trip and he must sort out all these deaths and figure out motives. Every character has a reason for killing Linette. But once she is dead, why do others keep falling by the wayside? There is a wonderful scene in the saloon where Poirot sorts it all out. See this. It's like a game where everyone needs to carefully eliminate people until they get down to a single murderer.
