"A murderer strikes on board the luxury Nile steamer Karnak-and Hercule Poirot faces his most baffling case."

- Director: John Guillermin
- Genre: Mystery & Suspense, Drama,
- Studio: Mersham Productions
- Subtitled | Widescreen | Duration: 150 Mins
Overview:
Peter Ustinov takes over from Albert Finney as pernickety Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot in this solid, star-studded dramatisation of Agatha Christie's paddle-steamer mystery. The plot is suitably tricky, the Egyptian locations dazzling and all the actors onboard seem to be having a terrific time -especially Angela Lansbury as a drunken writer and Maggie Smith as an acid-tongued nurse. It's only in comparison with 1974's Murder on the Orient Express that the film inevitably suffers - the solution isn't quite as jaw-dropping, and some of the whys and wherefores overtax credibility - but a humorous Ustinov keeps the whole thing afloat with his ability to add a twinkle to even the most earnest lines of dialogue.
