i watch this film when it be broadcast on channel four last christmas and i be so blown away by it that i have to buy the movie on dvd . come from a true fan of murder mystery tv show with my all time favourite series be midsomer murder and i can tell you this have to be one of the best detective drama ever to be adapt from one of agatha christie novel . peter ustinov give a wonderful performance a christie world famous belgian detective hercule poirot and who along with his sidekick have to solve three violent shooting on a luxury cruise ship sail off the coast of egypt . the story be full of red herring and great and really well acted character and lot of fantastic humour . it be also very grip with a crime that be forever tricky to work out and a truly unpredictable killer give the film a perfect end . i would suggest to all fan of classic british murder myestries to see this 1970 agatha christie tale but you will have to be prepare to be blow away by it . i overall give death on the nile positive star . one of the best detective story ever write .
