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 opening victim and as Poirot started to take a look at, the various suspects concealed motives started to be pointed out. Her valued necklace was coveted by Mrs wagon Schuyler, Salome Otterbourne faced a libel suit from Doyle over something she had printed , Doyle had refused her girl the bridal gift she had guaranteed and there were people too.
As the vessel cruised along the River Nile stopping off at locations including the Church of Karnak, Aswan and the Church of Abu Simbel, other passengers were also being finished. Gradually Poirot sets the signs and the murderers are unmasked. Simon Doyle had wedded Linnet to secure access to her fiscal wealth. With her out of the way, Simon would be available to married his one true love, Jacqueline.
The deaths don't end here as in sheer 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 incontrovertible fact that several the trips are improbable (such as cruising from Karnak to Abu Simbel in an afternoon), this does not take away from the video whatsoever. Happily, the present day holiday makers don't experience quite so much drama on their Nile Cruise holidays.
