Death On The Nile is one of Agatha Christies most well-known books which was the first of the publisher's videos I watched. The 1978 version saw Peter Ustinov take the number one role as the fictional, Belgium detective Hercule Poirot and his travelling companion Colonel Race who was played by David Niven.
As the title suggests, the film is set on the River Nile in Egypt. The instant a young heiress is murdered, Poirot is asked to clear up the crime. The film is set on board the Nile Brook boat the SS Cataract with visits at a couple of Egypt's most commonly known age-old attractions.
Just after Linnet Doyle (nee Ridgeway) is murdered it just becomes evident that there's one woman or man with a potential motive for murder. Linnet Doyle was on honeymoon in Egypt with her new husband Simon. The pair were being followed by Jacqueline, Simon's jilted partner. She follows the husband and spouse from the Pyramids in Cairo down to the Nile and boards the SS Cataract.
Linnet Doyle was the original victim and as Poirot started to have a look at, the numerous suspects ulterior motives began to be indicated. Her cherished necklace was desired by Mrs truck Schuyler, Salome Otterbourne faced a libel suit from Doyle over something she had printed out , Doyle had refused her maid the dowry she had assured and there were other people too.
As the vessel cruised along the Stream Nile stopping off at locations including the Temple of Karnak, Aswan and the Temple of Abu Simbel, other passengers were also being killed. Continuously Poirot determines the signs and the killers are exposed. Simon Doyle had married Linnet to secure access to her finance wealth. With her out of the way, Simon would be available to wed his true love, Jacqueline.
The deaths don't end here as in desperation, Jacqueline first off shoots Simon followed by herself rather than face justice. Originally drafted in the 1930s, the story is a Christie classic. In spite of the fact that numerous the trips are unlikely (like cruising from Karnak to Abu Simbel in an afternoon), this doesn't take away from the video at all. Happily, the modern day vacation makers don't experience quite so much drama on their Nile Cruise holidays.
