Peter Ustinov is not really what I pictured when I was reading the Agatha Christie books, so it is to his credit that I found him so believable as Poirot. This movie is worth watching for the costumes alone - 30s amazing, especially the costumes for the women - but add the scenery and the visuals alone make this a great watch. The storyline is pure Agatha Christie—a good yarn albeit a little hokey and over-acted in places.
