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.

I absolutely LOVE Agatha Christie and own all the Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot films (the original ones starring Margaret Rutherford as Miss Marple and Peter Ustinov as Poirot)...nice review! Sarah x
