Death on the Nile--Homicide on Board

The film was shot in 1978, and it still looks wonderful to this day. Coming from the Eastern Train Murder Case, like the train's method, the first half of the story lays the groundwork, explaining the causes and contradictions; the middle detective, Polo, analyzes the case, and finally unravels the murderer's true face and modus operandi in public.

The environment and the characters' costumes are very nice, and the actors' acting skills are also in place. The only thing is that the plot's progress is a little slow. On the boat, the wealthy daughter Lynette was killed, and everyone on the boat became a suspect of Detective Polo, and everyone had a motive for committing the crime. The mastermind behind it is to get Lynette's new husband and his lover, Jacki, to accept it. The only purpose of their murder is to allow Simon to legally inherit Lynette's assets, and then the two of them will be together happily.
