Agatha Christie's Belgian detective Hercule Poirot has his little grey cells put to the test in this classic tale of murder and deceit. Aboard a luxury cruise ship, a beautiful and wealthy heiress is murdered. As secrets from the victims past unfold, Poirot faces a surfeit of suspects armed with heavy motives, including her charming but feckless husband, his jilted ex-lover, a corrupt lawyer and an embittered servant. Death on the Nile is a visually sumptuous and quintessentially British production, which won an Oscar for Anthony Powell's costume design and introduced Peter Ustinov in his first portrayal as the famous detective.
