pDeath On The Nile is one of Agatha Christies most notable books and it was the very first of the authors films I watched. The 1978 classic saw Peter Ustinov take the leading role as the fictional, Belgium detective Hercule Poirot and his travelling partner Colonel Race who was played by David Niven./p
pAs the title suggests, the film is set on the River Nile in Egypt. When a young heiress is killed, Poirot is asked to unravel the crime. The film is set on board the Nile River boat the SS Cataract with stops at some of Egypts most commonly known historic attractions.nbsp;/p
pStraight after Linnet Doyle (nee Ridgeway) is killed it rapidly becomes obvious that there is more than one person with a likely motive for murder. Linnet Doyle was on honeymoon in Egypt with her new husband Simon. The pair were being stalked by Jacqueline, Simons former partner. She pursues the pair from the Pyramids in Cairo down to the Nile and boards the SS Cataract.nbsp;/p
pLinnet Doyle was the first murder victim and as Poirot started to analyze, the other suspects ulterior motives started to be revealed. Her expensive necklace was sought after by Mrs van Schuyler, Salome Otterbourne faced a law suit from Doyle over a piece she had published, Doyle had declined her maid the dowry she had promised and there were others too./p
pAs the boat sailed down the Nile stopping off at locations like the Temple of Karnak, Aswan and the Temple of Abu Simbel, other people were also being slain. In the end Poirot determines the evidence and the murderers are unmasked. Simon Doyle had married Linnet to obtain easy access to her money. With her out of the way, Simon would be available to marry his real love, Jacqueline.nbsp;/p
pThe fatalities dont halt here as in desperation, Jacqueline first shoots Simon and herself as opposed to face the law. Originally penned in the 1930s, the storyline is a Christie classic. Despite the fact that many of the trips are improbable (such as cruising from Karnak to Abu Simbel in an afternoon), this doesnt detract from the video by any means. The good thing is, present day travellers dont suffer from quite so much drama on their a href=http://www.nilecruiseholidays.net target=_blankNile Cruise holidays/a./p
