Review of the DVD Death on the Nile
Death On The Nile is one of Agatha Christies most well-known books and it was the first of the publisher's videos I watched. The 1978 version saw Peter Ustinov take the leading 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 movie 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 River boat the SS Cataract with visits at a few of Egypt's most widely known age-old attractions.
Right after Linnet Doyle (nee Ridgeway) is killed it quickly becomes apparent that there is more than one individual with a likely reason for murder. Linnet Doyle was on honeymoon in Egypt with her new husband Simon. The pair were being stalked by Jacqueline, Simon's former sweetheart. She follows the pair from the Pyramids in Cairo down to the Nile and boards the SS Cataract.
Linnet Doyle was the initial murder victim and as Poirot started to examine, the various other suspects motives started to be discovered. Her precious pendant was coveted by Mrs van Schuyler, Salome Otterbourne faced a law suit from Doyle over a piece she had put into writing, Doyle had declined her maid the dowry she had promised and there were others too.
As the vessel sailed along the river stopping at spots such as the Temple of Karnak, Aswan and the Temple of Abu Simbel, other travellers were also being murdered. Eventually Poirot works out the clues and the murderers are unmasked. Simon Doyle had married Linnet to gain access to her wealth. With her out of the way, Simon would be free to marry his true love, Jacqueline.
The deaths don't end here as in desperation, Jacqueline first of all shoots Simon followed by herself instead of face justice. Originally written in the 1930s, the tale is a Christie classic. Despite the fact that a number of the trips are improbable (such as cruising from Karnak to Abu Simbel in an afternoon), this doesn't take away from the video whatsoever. Happily, the present day holiday makers don't experience quite so much drama on their Nile Cruise holidays.
