VHS Movie Reviews of Appointment With Death
Movie Review: An Appointment with Death, Comparison
Summary: 4 Stars
This is not quite as polished as Evil Under the Sun and Death on the Nile, also with Peter Ustinov. It still has the same kind of star power because Lauren Bacall and Piper Laurie are both in this. The story is also still good and I did enjoy it. But I didn't like it as well as the other two I mentioned and I probably won't watch it again.Movie Review: My Favorite Agatha Christie Film
Summary: 5 Stars
I have never read the book (sheepish grin), but I love this movie. I'm sure it has some weak points but the all star cast and the twist ending (always guaranteed with a Christie story) leave me entertained every time I watch it. I'm only dissappointe din the fact that this movie not available in the U.S. in DVD format. I'd be first in line for a copy of this film on DVD!!Movie Review: Why isn't this on DVD?
Summary: 4 Stars
For pity's sake, the other five Ustinov Poirots are on DVD...this is the only one that isn't. Come on already!Movie Review: "I never forget a name or a face."
Summary: 5 Stars
Mr. Boynton (whom we never see) passes away. Mrs. Emily Boynton (Piper Laurie) who used to be a matron in a prison is hard as tacks. She blackmails the family lawyer (David Soul) into burning a recent will, and preserving an earlier one that gave everything to Emily. Emily gets even nastier with her children and step children. It does not stop there she snubs just about everyone. So guess who gets killed.
This movie has everything that makes an Agatha Christie movie great. Everyone is a suspect. Everybody could have done it. Only Hercule Poirot (Peter Ustinov) can figure this out. Naturally Hercule Poirot is in the right place at the right time to hear everything and extract the truth.
You need to add this one to your collection.
Movie Review: Not the best Ustinov Poirot movie by a long shot
Summary: 3 Stars
Ustinov made six appearances as Christie's Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, and while the rest are masterpieces which very closely followed Christie's books, this one made some significant variations. While the location is excellent, the cast certainly high powered, and Ustinov's performance certainly outstanding, this movie dragged throughout the first half of the movie, and the second half wasn't much better. It might be the reason why this seems to be the only one of Ustinov's Poirot movies still not available on DVD, or maybe because it was produced by that pioneer of B movies, Cannon Films. If you enjoy Hercule Poirot, then you should get this movie for collection purposes only.
