Ellipsis Movie Of The Week... Death On The Nile (1978)

 

"I'm very sorry to see you here Mademoiselle Forgive me for saying, but you're embarking on hazardous journey in troubled waters.
You face who knows what currents of misfortune."

~Hercule Poirot ( Peter Ustinov )
Death On The Nile
By, Agatha Christie


Elegant clothing, beautiful music, romance and murder set against the beauty of the Nile! What's not to love in this movie? And if that wasn't enough, the cast is fabulous! Peter Ustinov, Mia Farrow, Lois Chiles, Jane Birkin, Maggie Smith, Bette Davis, Olivia Hussey David Niven, Angela Lansbury, Jack Warden, and Sam Wanamaker, make up the perfect cast! I know, I know, there was a recent remake of the Agatha Christie novel, in 2022, but you know me, I love the movies from the 70's, the last of the truly elegant films, and so, this is my favorite! Oh my, the clothing... every attention to the elegance of the 1930's Art Deco era, my favorite! If you haven't seen this version of, Death On The Nile, be sure to catch it! It's available right now on Prime. It's perfect for a Saturday afternoon, when you just need to not know anything exists, except for the gem of a movie!

My favorite scene from the movie...


Be sure to keep a lookout for a silly goof early in the film. It's so funny!
