Title: They Should Have Gone Down With The Boat
Review: In spite of a distinguished cast and a script which remains faithful the author's famous novel, Death on the Nile is remarkably lackluster. Ustinov plays the celebrated Poriot largely for laughs, and the supporting players (a truly stellar cast, including Bette Davis and Angela Lansbury) largely follow suit; in consequence, the complicated and justly famous plot seems more a vehicle for its cast than the driving story it actually is. Easy on the eyes, fairly mindless, and certainly no Murder on the Orient Express.
