A mysterious murder in which all the passengers on the ship have a motive to kill the millionaire's daughter (--she's domineering, mean, etc., and has a relationship with almost everyone on the ship.). Of course, the person who is least likely to be the murderer in the story is often the perpetrator - his husband, which I suspected from beginning to end. The motive is very simple. Once her wife, the millionaire's daughter, dies, he will will be the direct beneficiary.
The classic is this: the shocking murder of a pair of poor lovers for money. When her ex-girlfriend saw that he wanted to use this marriage to become a rich man, she decided to go through fire and water to help her ex-boyfriend, and was finally exposed by Paulo that they both died in love. They lost themselves for money.
What is worth mentioning is their killing methods. They cooperated very well. The ex-girlfriend used her boyfriend to be robbed by a friend and always followed their honeymoon to show her revenge and intimidation to her friend. On the boat, the ex-girlfriend made a splash, and the ex-boyfriend cooperated to force his wife away, as if he wanted to have a good talk with his ex-girlfriend. In fact, his leg was not injured. His ex-boyfriend took advantage of the time difference to commit a crime and killed his wife. After returning, he wounded his left leg with a gun, so that the two of them fell asleep on morphine because they were too frightened. One night, because it seemed that the leg was injured and there was no possibility of committing a crime, the focus was shifted...
If this story was put in 30 or 40 years ago, I think it can indeed be regarded as a milestone in detective novels. Looking at it now, it is indeed a bit late, but it is not an exaggeration to be called a classic by everyone.
At the end of the film, Paulo quotes Molière, the master of black humor - a woman's greatest wish is to be loved! It's the end of the whole show.

    The first time I read it was, of course, the Shanghai Translation Newspaper. After more than 30 years, I only read the original version yesterday. At that time, I only knew it was a famous novel. After many years, I have learned more about this movie. It is really a lot of superstars. Miss Betty can be said to be a star within a star. The situation is similar to the Orient Express. But there are also more famous ones later, Miss Maggie Smith, who played Betty's servant, became popular as a professor in the hit Harry Potter. It seems to be the film company's strategy at that time... The exterior scenes were filmed with sincerity, satisfying book fans who can't see the real scene if they only read the book, and the inside is Miss Agasha's usual insidious interpersonal relationship. This time the contradiction is more upper-class, not rural , and also came to the Nile River to take a boat, she wrote about planes and cars, and wrote about the means of transportation at that time...

    The Orient Express incident is to connect a group of seemingly unrelated people, and this film is the back of the former, that is, everyone has motivation and opportunity. Two opposing logics make Poirot's series more coherent: Poirot did not let off every suspect after the previous incident, but went into a misunderstanding. The film amplifies this point and creates a full image of Poirot. At the same time, the white space in the jewelry and boulder paragraphs also adds a touch of mystery to the film.
