VHS Movie Reviews of Murder on the Orient Express [VHS]
Movie Review: Magnificent and Stylish Murder Second to None
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a spectacle to the eye. Scenery and costumes had a definite Art Deco flavor, and the special effects were perfectly combined with one of the greatest casts ever assembled.
The music for the opening credits is polished and sophisticated. The train theme is quite unique and lively.
The only negatives are Mr. Finney's makeup and portrayal, which seemed overly exaggerated and hammy. David Suchet and Peter Ustinov gave more subtle performances with a wider range of emotions to their Poirots.
Nevertheless, this is a great must-see movie and one that never ceases to be enjoyed over time. The bonus tracks are also of great interest to any Agatha Christie fan.
Summary of Murder on the Orient Express [VHS]
Just the name "Orient Express" conjures images of a bygone era. Add an all-star cast (including Sean Connery, Ingrid Bergman, Jacqueline Bisset, and Lauren Bacall, to name a few) and Agatha Christie's delicious plot and how can you go wrong? Particularly if you add in Albert Finney as Christie's delightfully persnickety sleuth, Hercule Poirot. Someone has knocked off nasty Richard Widmark on this train trip and, to Poirot's puzzlement, everyone seems to have a motive--just the setup for a terrific whodunit. Though it seems like an ensemble film, director Sidney Lumet gives each of his stars their own solo and each makes the most of it. Bergman went so far as to win an Oscar for her role. But the real scene-stealer is the ever-reliable Finney as the eccentric detective who never misses a trick. --Marshall FineAction & Adventure VHS Video
