Death on the Nile (1978 John Guillermin)

Written by Anthony Shaffer, handsomely shot by Jack Cardiff, using the zoom lens with restraint, Ustinov is Poirot, Niven his mate. Mia Farrow is suitably disturbed as she torments Simon MacCorkindale and Lois Chiles. Others propped up around this situation are Bette Davis, Maggie Smith, Angela Lansbury, Olivia Hussey, Jane Birkin, Jon Finch, George Kennedy and Jack Warden. Nino Rota wrote the music,

Guillermin manages to do nothing particularly interesting with plot, cast or situation. Jack's son John Cardiff is second unit photographer.
