I recall that in the PBS version of Nile, the Lois Chiles first victim part was played by a then-unknown Emily Blunt, two years before she made a name for herself in The Devil Wears Prada, and that the Bette Davis role was played by Judy Parfitt, who was very memorable in Dolores Claiborne. AND WHA...

I may very well make some people angry by saying this, but I’m not 100% sold on David Suchet being that good an actor. But a lot of people love him, and physically he does resemble the character the most My post seems to have disappeared. I don't think I could watch another Poirot episode again. I'...

Perennial foreign character actor, Alec Guiness!!

Thanks. A lot of Argentine films. Eddie seems to like them. I don't remember No Questions Asked. I'll have to look it up. I just saw Bad For Each Other a few months back for the first time so I'll probably skip that one. Not too many reruns at least. Unsure if I've seen No Questions Asked. I rememb...

I REMEMBER ELLIOT GOULD being terrible in another POIROT EPISODE. I think DAVID SOUL is also terrible though. So I guess I crossed the two in my mind LOL. He looked terrible too! The PBS versions suffer from being shorter running times. They run around 90 minutes so continuity is sometimes a proble...

I'm an IDIOT.
It's DAVID SOUL- he plays the GEORGE KENNEDY role- not ELLIOT GOULD.

I'm getting old, children....

We all are! That's ok. He was in another one.

HIBI WROTE: I've seen the PBS Mystery version and it's different than the movie version. I'm not sure which one is closer to the book. The PBS version has 2 other characters: a gay thief and his mom, that weren't in the film version. The ending is a bit different too. The Maggie Smith character lea...

IT'S also interesting to view the film now that I know that EVERY SINGLE SHOT ON THE BOAT that takes place in the nighttime was done ON A SOUNDSTAGE IN ENGLAND! https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/proxy/blq8ixv8I_yDiEMfFsIqeBJSRLOkUDb42H0_4uFw5Rq4fiCdhR8UqAKJUBMgEoGO0mxvUcQBealOQWI3z7zRfTCfOUHbZuRgQS...

Krakatoa is actually WEST of Java, but that's Hollywood!

Very creepy scene on a rainy night with the back towards the audience dummy "looking" out a window. William Lundigan, a more palatable version (as far as I'm concerned) of Dennis O'Keefe. I thought Dorothy Patrick was obnoxious as the tabloid journalist. The opening scene shows a woman's ...

This past weekend there was a similar situation with Silent Sunday Nights - Jacqueline Stewart presented The Merry Widow (1925) with nearly the same script she used from a showing in May of 2021. I haven't been following Silent Sunday Nights enough to know if this is just a coincidence, or if somet...

If you hadn;t guessed, I've switched from EVIL UNDER THE SUN to watching DEATH ON THE NILE on loop. I've seen this film 154 times. SPOILERS i was reading PAULINE KAEL'S review and she makes a point that JOHN GUILLERMAN'S direction is more workmanlike and perfunctory than ARTISTIC or THOUGHT-OUT, an...
