Editorial Review: Discount Shopping essential video: Just the name "Orient Express" conjures images of a bygone era. Add an all-star cast (including Sean Connery, Ingrid Bergman, Jacqueline Bisset, and Lauren Bacall, to name a few) and Agatha Christie's delicious plot and how can you go wrong? Particularly if you add in Albert Finney as Christie's delightfully persnickety sleuth, Hercule Poirot. Someone has knocked off nasty Richard Widmark on this train trip and, to Poirot's puzzlement, everyone seems to have a motive--just the setup for a terrific whodunit. Though it seems like an ensemble film, director Sidney Lumet gives each of his stars their own solo and each makes the most of it. Bergman went so far as to win an Oscar for her role. But the real scene-stealer is the ever-reliable Finney as the eccentric detective who never misses a trick. --Marshall Fine Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Movie LoverAgatha Christie's Murder on the Orient ExpressThis is one of the best mystery movies. Rating: - "Expressively Yours"Of all the big-production Agatha Christie Murder Movies, this is to my mind, the best. We are drawn in by the exotic scenery and the stellar cast.

I've never gotten into any of the other Poirot movies, so to me this is the one and only. I adore Albert Finney as Poirot. I know there's been some discussion about his accent, but honestly I don't know if I even know what a Belgian accent even sounds like to begin with so it doesn't bother me. The opening scene where you see the kidnapping taking place still spooks me. Sometimes ...

Well-acted, beautifully shot and lit, and with a sharp tongued script and stunning sets, it is a masterpiece, much like the genius book by Agatha Christie is considered today. The story follows detective Hercule Poirot (a heavily accented Albert Finney) as he has to solve the murder of Mr. Ratchett (Richard Widmark) on the infamous Orient Express. Among the suspects are: loquacious Mrs. Hubbard (Lauren Bacall), Bible-toting Swede ...

Set in a vintage time and place there is an unmatched opulence to the sets.
