And much a better version than the one starring Alfred Molina (whom I like) I recently saw on the tube, which was boring beyond belief.

This is one I can't wait for. The score by Richard Rodney Bennett is an absolute joy and seeing Ingrid Bergman one last time on the big screen is a real treat.

The Orient Express Waltz in DD5.1 Worth it for that alone.

Murder wasn't Ingrid Bergman's last film appearance, the wonderful Autumn Sonata was, and A Woman Called Golda was her last TV performance.

OK, let me rephrase: It was the last time I saw her on the big screen. Actually, it was the only time I saw her on a big screen.

Thanks for the correction.

Also, Anchor Bay recently lowered the price on it's Agatha Christie/EMI films. Now it possible to pick up Endless Night, The Mirror Crack'd, Death On The Nile, and Evil Under the Sun for under $10.

I guess it's up to Warner to put out Peter Ustinov's last theatrical turn as Poirot, Appointment with Death.

What's Ross Perot got to do with it?

It's Poirot. ("You perfectly foul French upstart!" "Belgian upstart, please madame.")
