Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMany of the characters are combinations or alterations of characters from the novel, to make for a smaller cast and a less confusing plot:
- Salome and Rosalie Otterbourne, a romance novelist and her daughter, become a singer and her niece/manager.
- Andrew Pennington becomes cousin Andrew Katchadourian.
- Marie Van Schuyler, a socialite and no relation to Linnet, becomes Linnet's godmother who has the ideals of Mr. Ferguson, the aristocrat turned socialist.
- Windlesham, a character mentioned in the first chapter, is combined with Dr. Bessner to become Dr./Lord Windlesham.
- Bouc, a character who appears only in Murder on the Orient Express, takes on elements of Col. Race, while his choice of traveling companion, his mother Euphemia, is reminiscent of the relationship between Tim and Mrs. Allerton.
- GoofsPoirot grows a mustache to hide the scar tissue that covers most of his upper lip and cheek. Scar tissue cannot grow hair at all, as it does not contain follicles or sweat glands; it is a connective tissue that grows between the dermis after it is split. Poirot's mustache could therefore never be as full as depicted, and should have several holes or irregularities.
- Quotes
Marie Van Schuyler: You accuse me now of murder?
Bouc: Oh, no, he accuses everyone of murder.
Hercule Poirot: It is a problem, I admit.

Featured review
Death on the Nile fails to meet the high standard of its predecessor Murder on the Orient Express. That being said the film is beautifully shot and the final act is an overall fun mystery ride. The film is generally well acted and directed. One negative is that the audience is just told things a little too much. Murder on the Orient Express had a little more set up and the audience felt more of a part of the mystery early on. That aspect of storytelling felt diminished in this sequel. The mystery does not really pick up until the final act and even then some things are just explained by Detective Poirot without any of the tantalizing intrigue that the first film possessed. Murder on the Orient Express had an amazing twist with good people doing a bad thing which made the audience seriously reflect on the right and wrong of the crime. Unfortunately, Death on the Nile's big twist of bad people doing a bad thing for money felt a little flat. Murder on the Orient Express was a work of art. Death on the Nile is a decent mystery movie.
