Review – Murder on the Orient Express

I confess that I’m a poor judge of the quality of murder mysteries, since I’m not a real big fan of the genre. But I do like this particular example. Based on Agatha Christie’s famous novel, the plot involves a trainload of people who all – except for intrepid inspector Poirot, of course – have some connection to a kidnapping that more-than-vaguely resembles the Lindbergh case. More than that I really shouldn’t include for fear of giving away the ending. Plot aside, even folks like myself who don’t have much use for mysteries may nonetheless enjoy this outing, which includes some top-notch art direction and more celebrity appearances than you can shake a stick at. Mildly amusing
