death on the nile be a most entertaining crime and mystery story base on one of agatha christie hercule poirot novel in her classic who do it . style . but besides the plot this movie be film in beautiful and real egyptian location that make a great and unusual atmosphere all around . a usual in the queen of mystery plot some event occur too coincidentally perfect so that impossible situation and alibi become possible for the story sake and but this be miss christie trade mark and no doubt that she have a great imagination and skill to make most interesting and catch plot in the genre . though peter ustinov doesn not fit physically with chrisitie description of her belgium talented detective ( a sort little insignificant man and bald and with an egg shape head ) and peter ustinov have manage to be identify with the character with his classy and skillful acting . the usual star cast play the suspect that distract our attention in this one have the always reliable david niven and the great bette davis and mia farrow and george kennedy and jane birkin and jack warden and jon finch and olivia hussey and a magnificent angela lansbury ( a usual ) . lois chile be the spoiled rich heiress that be murder under strange circumstance ( she look for it all the time ) . in my opinion and along with evil under the sun this film stand among the best in miss chrsitie novel movie version . don not miss it if you like the genre .
