This a corker of a whodunnit - and what chance you could ever get a cast like this together again without it being a computer generated festival of egos? Mia Farrow, Jane Birkin, a scene-stealing Angela Lansbury, George Kennedy, Maggie Smith and an incomparable Bette Davis are all likely suspects as a fabulously wealthy Lois Chiles is bumped off in her cabin aboard a luxury cruise down the Nile. Luckily, though - for us, and them - Peter Ustinov and David Niven are on hand to resolve this mysterious crime. As the films develops you realise just how odious and horrid the murdered woman was - I found that I wanted to kill her too!! Great fun with a superb Nina Rota score that really makes this a diamond of a film. I read, with trepidation, that Sir Kenneth Branagh is to remake this in 2020 - hmmm!!! see more
