REVIEWS
Review by anonymous (posted on 4-Jul-2005)
The book was even more tortuous than most of Christie's works. However, director Winner did a good job in laying out the plot in an hour and about 45 minutes. The cast - hasbeens and wanna-be's, laboured meritoriously and created some moments of captivating cinema. The principals - Gielgud, Ustinov, Bacall, etc - gave solid performances. The newcomers gave some patchy performances - Hugh Brophy was smooth and commanding as the maitre d'. Like to see more of him. Amber Bezer was, on the other hand, extraordinarily clumsy - don't need to see any more of her. A lovely performance is turned in by Jenny Seagrove - the camera loved her and she is quietly beautiful throughout. Director Winner drew a great effort from her - rumour has it that they were very close on and off the set during the making of this slightly better than average Christie movie.
