DEATH ON THE NILE (1978)
CertificationPG Our Rating
An Agatha Christie thriller in a sumptous setting; Mia Farrow is superb as the woman scorned, obsessively stalking her ex-fiancee and his new wife on their luxury honeymoon. Ustinov plays the chocolate-swilling sleuth Poirot and, as always, there's a cunning twist. One of the best.

Ustinov as Poirot investigates the murder of the universally disliked Arlena (Rigg) on a sunny Adriatic island. All the suspects have airtight alibis and the pivotal clue concerns the woman under the sombrero. A beautifully filmed suspense from the Agatha Christie stable, they don't make 'em like this anymore!
