Murder on the Orient Express (1974)

The mystery here is delightfully constructed by Agatha Christie, and boasts an unconventional ending with at least two great surprsies. The procedings are made all the more enjoyable by the all star cast and Albert Finney doubtlessly having a ball as the Belgin detective Hercule Poirot. I loved the mood of this film and that it rejoiced in being an old fashoned murder mystery fit for an evening of 'To host a muder', and in fact its not all that different from the one 'To host a murder' evening I actully participated in. Four 1/2 out of Five. I want to clone Sir. John Gielgud and have him be my butler.
