Negative Positive
Title: poorly acted adaptation
Review: Ustinov doesn't look remotely like Christie's Poirot, but never mind that. It is the ensemble cast that trashes this film, a group of summer actors who read their lines like they are reading graffiti on the rocks. The figure that should provide the menace of the book -- the evil Mrs. Boynton -- is laughable.Skip it. Wait for a more modern adaptation or just reread one of the classic Christies.
