was along with " Murder on the Orient Express " the best adaptation of an Agatha Christie story taken to film. A spectacular cast (something common in the big screen adaptations of Christie novels) led by Mia Farrow an extremely effective and where we found the names of the likes of Peter Ustinov , David Niven, Bette Davis or Angela Lansbury. The natural landscape, shot in the most emblematic places of ancient Egypt did nothing to magnify a movie also tended to the last detail in the designs of both indoor and costume design (which earned him Hollywwood a well deserved Oscar.) Tremendo his script was adapted from a very interesting novel that had another top end signed by the famous British writer.
Peter Ustinov was put on the skin of the charismatic Hércoles Poirot following the rejection of Albert Finney (who had incarnated the Belgian detective in "Murder on the Orient Express") because of the high temperatures of filming in Egypt (more than understand even if we consider the clothing that the entire cast should look at this movie ). This change of actor served to give greater credibility to a strange character Ustinov nobody understood as a more successful.
I've seen several times this movie and I reaffirm the thought that "Death on the Nile " will be forever indebted to Jacqueline Bellefort the interesting character shaped by a superb Mia Farrow who became its own merits the most interesting of the whole novel. A character full of edges in a universe of individuals may be too linear. Taken to the acting field, could say something similar. And this film made us witnesses of a young Mia Farrow own light dawned in a tangle of names enshrined absolutely, some of whom were already stars when she was not even born. Mystical
