70's Month - Day:19 Murder on the Orient Express


Murder on the Orient Express is a 1974 film adaptation based on the Agatha Christie novel of the same name. It was directed by Sydney Lumet and boast an impressive cast, including Albert Finney, Lauren Bacall, Ingrid Bergman, Sean Connery, John Gielgud, Vanessa Redgrave, Michael York, Jacqueline Bisset, Anthony Perkins and Wendy Hiller.

The plot, as the title would suggest, centers around a mysterious murder aboard a train called the Orient Express. Unfortunately for the murderer (or maybe murderers), one of the train's passengers just so happens to be the famous detective Hercule Poirot.

This is one of the all-time great whodunit films that will likely have you trying to solve the case along with Poirot, and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes a good murder mystery.
