Albert Finney delivers a striking performance as Agatha Christie's "Poirot," featured in this murder mystery unfolding aboard the luxurious Orient Express train journeying from Istanbul to Calais, temporarily halted by a snowdrift. A remarkable ensemble cast seems determined to claim responsibility for the killing of oriental pottery collector Richard Widmark. The question arises: what possible motive could there be for such a violent act against someone who collects antique vases? Lauren Bacall, Sean Connery, and Ingrid Bergman are among those considered suspects as they come under the careful observation of our traveling Belgian detective. Sir John Gielgud portrays the butler with a comparable air of understated class that earned him an Academy Award for "Arthur" (1981), while Dame Wendy Hiller embodies the haughty “Princess Dragomiroff” flawlessly. The film benefits from Sidney Lumet’s skillful direction, maintaining a compelling rhythm and design throughout this nearly two-hour pursuit.
