This box set is brilliant. If your an agatha christie fan you will love this. The most famous fim of them all is included (murder on the orient express). In this you see famous faces such as sean connery and albert finney. This is a great film seeing the murder of one man. There are many clues and many red herrings. For those of you who have not seen this film i will not spoil it by saying what happens, all i will say is if you go on the orient express lock your door.
The next best film in the collection is death on the nile, this has a cast of peter ustinov and david niven to name just a few. This is probably my favourite as it is set in the gorgeous setting of Egypt. Not only is the film brilliant and has many deaths it also has a big twist which for a first time viewer is unexpected. The views and sights you see of Eygpt really make you want to go there.If you watch this on a cold day it will definately warm you up.
Also good is evil under the sun, although diana rigg is only in the film for a short time he role as the evil step mum is played brilliantly. Again this is set on a remote island which i would love to visit. Again in true agatha christie style this film is full of twist and has such a creative plot line.
my least favourite is the mirror cracked, i am not a big miss marple fan but it is still worth a watch no matter.
All i will say is if you like agatha christie this box set is a must. I have not given much detail away about the film as i do not wish to ruin it for those of you who have not had the joy of seeing them yet.

Review of Agatha Christie DVD Collection (Limited Edition) (DVD)
This box set presents four classic Agatha Christie film adaptations: MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS, DEATH ON THE NILE, THE MIRROR CRACK'D, and EVIL UNDER THE SUN. MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS stars Albert Finney as Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot, while DEATH ON THE NILE and EVIL UNDER THE SUN see Peter Ustinov taking up the Poirot mantle. THE MIRROR CRACK'D features Angela Lansbury as the ever-inquistive Miss Marple. To call this collection star-studded would be a severe understatement; Lauren Bacall, Ingrid Bergman, Sean Connery, Bette Davis, Mia Farrow, David Niven, Maggie Smith, Tony Curtis, Elizabeth Taylor, Diana Rigg, and Kim Novak are but a few of the many stars featured in these four films.
