Highlights:
- It is amazing to know the talent of Agatha Christie through movie adaptions like this! The suspense clearly takes one back by surprise.
- Sidney Lumet, the veteran film-maker presents the story with a pretty nostalgic setup; with details on train, routes and passengers acting complementors to the suspenseful central plot.
- Albert Finney, in his detective role, performs impeccably; I have seen not many convincing portrayals than that; One of the best performances.
