Ah, "Death on the Nile". One of my favourite Agatha Christie novels. I did not like the Peter Ustinov version. It took too many liberties with the plot, and Ustinov, despite his great acting abilities, did not look or act like the Poirot from the novel. This version was acted out better, and took fewer liberties with the plot. Of course, it took some liberties, mainly: - making Timothy Allerton gay; his relationship with Rosalie Otterbourne fails at the end - Colonel Race comes onto the ship because he wants to be with his old friend Poirot, not to track down a spy - Richetti is absent, no one filling in his role, and Miss Bowers is absent, Cornelia filling in her role This version is amazing. It makes up for some of the dreary episodes we've had in the past.
