Somebody has said the film is very good but one should read the book. I believe tue film is bad and, instead of reading the book, one should see the previous version by Sidney Lumet. What a film!!!! This TV version is weak: with the modernization of the plot it has lost credibility, and the setting in tue Orient Express has lost its magic, Poirot looks ridiculous, Leslie Caron is pathetic in her impassivity, the others do their best but the final result is very poor.
It is not to be recomended to people who have already seen Lumet's version: the most fabulous group of fine actresses and actors, dressed in magnificent clothes and set in a fabulous reconstruction of what had been the most luxurious means of transport in the first half of the XXth. century.
