Agatha Christies - Death On The Nile (1978) DVD   Studio Canal

Agatha Christie's Belgian detective Hercule Poirot has his little grey cells put to the test in this classic tale of murder and deceit. Aboard a luxury cruise ship, a beautiful and wealthy heiress is murdered. As secrets from the victims past unfold, Poirot faces a surfeit of suspects armed with heavy motives, including her charming but feckless husband, his jilted ex-lover, a corrupt lawyer and an embittered servant. Featuring an all-star cast including Bette Davis, Maggie Smith, Angela Lansbury, David Niven and Mia Farrow, Death On The Nile is a visually sumptuous and quintessentially British production, which won an Oscar for Anthony Powell's costume design and introduced Peter Ustinov in his first portrayal as the famous detective.
