This rendition is much more faithful to Agatha Christie'S book than the larger than life 1974 Production. There in lies its strength but, may I say, its weakness as well. Where in almost all circumstances David Suchet is super and the absolute Poirot, Peter Ustinov's delectably idiosyncratic Poirot impression the all-Star cast of the old movie, its unforgettable music score provided it with an almost mythical aura that simply cannot be surpassed. Consequently, the new Death on the Nile is a better Agatha Christie installment but a lesser movie as a whole.
