Today, an all-star cast isn’t always the sign of a great movie. It gets people in seats, but once the gimmick wears off there’s often not much left. 1978’s Death on the Nile and 1980’s The Mirror Crack’d, however, are good examples of when a star-studded cast proved to be more than a marketing stunt. Both films were produced by Richard Goodwin and John Brabourne, who adapted four Agatha Christie novels for the big screen. The first was Murder on the Orient Express and the last was Evil Under the Sun. The Mirror Crack’d is the outlier, in that it is the only one without Christie’s famed detective, Hercule Poirot. Death on the Nile has some significance, too, though, for being the first time Peter Ustinov played Poirot (Albert Finney played him in Orient Express).
Simon (Simon MacCorkindale) and Jackie (Mia Farrow) are engaged when John Guillermin‘s Death on the Nile begins. It’s Simon and Linnet (Lois Chiles), however, who end up honeymooning in Egypt on a boat where every passenger has a reason for wanting to see Linnet dead. Someone gets murdered, of course, and it’s up to Poirot to figure out who did it. Along the way, he’s assisted by David Niven as Colonel Race, who is his usual, charming self. Bette Davis (All About Eve) and Olivia Hussey (Black Christmas) are two of the suspects, along with Maggie Smith (Downton Abbey), who looks impeccable in menswear. Angela Lansbury steals every scene she’s in as Salome Otterbourne, a romance novelist who calls Poirot ‘Monsieur Porridge’ for some reason and convinces Colonel Race to dance the tango with her. In typical Poirot style, the film ends with Poirot having everyone gather to learn the identity of the killer. While the answer isn’t predictable, it’s not splashy either, and considering how few tears are shed in this movie, the violence is quite graphic.
To say that Death on the Nile left me excited for Lansbury’s turn as Mrs. Marple is an understatement, but while Mrs. Marple is a more iconic character, Lansbury had more to do as Mrs. Otterbourne. Unlike Poirot, Mrs. Marple doesn’t have the authority to ask people questions. Consequently, she sits most of Guy Hamilton‘s The Mirror Crack’d out while her nephew, Dermot (Edward Fox), leads the investigation.
Luckily, Fox is up for the job, but if Lansbury isn’t the reason to watch The Mirror Crack’d, Elizabeth Taylor definitely is. On the page, ‘actress trying to stage a comeback’ sounds like a showy part (and no one could chew scenery better than Taylor). But in The Mirror Crack’d, she gets to give an understated performance while Kim Novak plays the diva. Rock Hudson is moving as well as Taylor’s director/husband who is concerned that his wife might’ve been the murderer’s real target.
Agatha Christie Death On The Nile Crack
Kino Lorber’s Death on the Nile Blu-Ray include a making-of-featurette that starts out quiet, where you almost think it might be silent, and includes some overlong clips, but ends up containing some great interviews with the producers and production designer, Peter Murton. Jon Finch is saddled with one of the thinner characters in the movie, but it’s interesting to hear from him on the holes in his character’s backstory.
Both Christie films come with a commentary by film historians Howard S. Berger, Steve Mitchell, and Nathaniel Thompson. The Mirror Crack’d commentary is especially good, as they talk about the relationship between Lansbury and Fox’s characters and compare the movie to the book.
The Mirror Crack’d and Death on the Nile are available now on Blu-Ray from Kino Lorber.

- I should have liked to see Monica Dolan (who played Miss Gilchrist in the ITV adaptation of After the Funeral) as Miss Robson...
- They're not gonna cast all those suspects. They'll have to consolidate some characters into one. Too much.
- Well they don't have to have the English Lawyers Uncle or the American Lawyers Business Partner (Played by Sam Wannemaker in the Ustinov Film amd they don't have to have Miss Robson's Mother and if they are going to have Poirot going onto the ship after there has been a Murder there is no need to have Race which means that rules out the person Race is after in the book but if Race is in it that rules out the English Lawyer like in the Ustinov Film and if things start on The Boat gone are Linnette's Servants apart from Miss Bourgette
- edited January 2018The previous film, TV, and radio versions have all kept, dropped, and combined different characters. I wonder if there's going to be an effort to pick different combinations to save amongst the minor cast.
- It will still disgruntle people because who is a minor character to one person may not be to another, The Film didn't have the Allerton's who I think are important and the DS version didn't have Miss Bowers who I think is important but the Film had the American Lawyers Partner and Linnette's Servants none of whom are important.
- Hopefully we can get a David Suchet cameo this time.
- What sort of cameo would you like to see, Agathasmykid?
- Oh, my gosh! I'm so excited about this upcoming movie!
- I thought that the cast of the David Suchet version was pretty perfect. I did in fact prefer this version to that of the Peter Ustinov version and I thought that Frances de la Tour playing Salome Otterbourne was an absolute hoot. I loved that line (referring to her imagination of the boat sinking) 'I do hope that we won't go down M Poirot; can you imagine being nibbled at by haddock and carp?!' Or words very similar to this.
- I think that whoever plays Mrs. Otterbourne has to have a flair for comedy.
I would love to see Dame Joan Collins play Mrs. Otterbourne.I think that whoever plays Mrs. Otterbourne has to have a flair for comedy.
Mrs. Otterbourne ought to have a mysterious yet stunning appearance alongside with being scandalous writer.
And in this upcoming movie, Mrs. Otterbourne ought to be a Press Tabloid Writer who's possibly spread the worst kinds of news about that spoiled little brat, Linnet Doyle.- This version needs big stars if it wants to match Murder on the Oreient Express' success. I think Goldie Hawn would be great as Salome Otterbourn. I know the character was UK in the book but Branagh shook up a few of the nationalities for Murder on the Orient Express. Chris Hemsworth for Simon Doyle, Claire Foy from the Crown for Jaqueline. Denzel Washington for the American lawyer. Jennifer Lawrence for Linnet. Helen Mirren for Mrs Van Schuyler. Emma Thompson for Miss Bowers (she would make a good Salome too).
Good choices in my opinion.This version needs big stars if it wants to match Murder on the Oreient Express' success. I think Goldie Hawn would be great as Salome Otterbourn.

Denzel Washington for the American lawyer. Jennifer Lawrence for Linnet. Helen Mirren for Mrs Van Schuyler. Emma Thompson for Miss Bowers (she would make a good Salome too).- Goldie Hawn would be wrong for Salome Otterbourne Imelda Staunton would be would be better, but I agree the Cast-list has to have impressive names mixed with less well-known ones, Emma Thompson should play Miss Bowers, the Actresss often confused with Glenn close (I can't remember her name), Goldie Hawn or Shirley Macclaine could play Miss Van Schuler
- edited July 2018Keeping in mind that Branagh mentioned old friends when he spoke about who he would cast, Lily James (from his Cinderella) as Jaqueline might suit.
Hopefully nobody from Orient Express is recast. 1978's Death on the Nile was much more effective with new stars (even though Albert Finney would have been welcome back). I found Evil Under the Sun had too many returning stars in different roles. Angela Lansbury gets a pass in The Mirror Crack'd because she was an ideal Miss Marple. - Tom Hiddleston would be perfect as Simon Doyle, and also fits the 'old friends' thing.
Well, for starters it would be nice to see other books mentioned. For example, they could have Poirot say something like 'I remember a case involving a doctor....Ackroyd was his name.'What sort of cameo would you like to see, Agathasmykid?
However I hope David Suchet gets a cameo in this one as I am not sure if there will be enough interest for them to make a third movie (although I hope they do). It would be a shame if Suchet didn't get a cameo in at least one of them.- Gal Gadot announced as Linnet Ridgeway - a terrific start to the casting.
- Gal Gadot plays Wonder Woman. Like Daisy Rodley from Star wars, she will bring in a younger fan base.
