The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This film starts out fantastic! Unbelievable Score, sharp and smart cinematography. The performances that inhabit the odd and wonderful characters are ALL incredible, Ingrid Bergman truly deserved her Oscar for this one. About towards the end of the first act and for most of the second, the pacing definitely flourishes though and you have to pay VERY close attention in order to understand what's going on. I say stick around because the payoff here is splendid and unlike anything I've ever seen in a mystery film before.

"Murder on the Orient Express" stands out as an unusual and different mystery. For that reason alone, it is a valuable part of the genre of mystery and crime films and books. Agatha Christie's tale set on the renowned train route from Istanbul to Paris is indeed a fascinating one. It is one of the best mysteries of all time. Those who have not read the book or heard the story will enjoy the movie the most by going into it without any foreknowledge. So, this review won't divulge any of the plot. Rather, it looks at the story in general, the cast and the setting. This film follows Christie's book very closely. Few names have been changed. The cast is superb. It has one of the largest casts of prominent actors - more than a dozen, in any film. And, none of these are cameos. Each person plays his or her character very well and very close to the book. The only character interpretation that I think didn't quite fit is the lead. Albert Finney's Hercule Poirot seems too talkative and doesn't have the thinking pauses that David Suchet's Poirot shows in the great TV series and movies later. Finney adds a touch of joviality to his flamboyance that doesn't seem quite right for the serious, thoughtful yet arrogant Poirot. But, that's not enough to lower this superb film and story. The performances of the rest of the cast are mostly outstanding. Lauren Bacall is wonderful as Mrs. Hubbard. Martin Balsam is lively and boisterous without being aggravating. He plays the Belgian official of the train company, Bianchi, who also is an acquaintance of Poirot's from the past. Jean-Pierre Cassel shines as Pierre, the Calais car attendant. Wendy Hiller is superb as the princess, and Sean Connery is spot on as Col. Arbuthnot. Vanessa Redgrave as Mary Debenham does beautifully with an air of mystery as though she has something to hide. And, for anyone who knows little about Ingrid Bergman, her Greta in this film shows the great talent of this actress. She surely deserves her best supporting actress Oscar for her performance in this film. She is one of the greatest actresses of all time. Only one other effort to film this Christie story is as good or better than this original. The 2010 movie made for the TV series captures the time and setting perfectly. David Suchet stars as Poirot. It gives a deeper look at Poirot and his disgust with murder. The most recent, 2017 film, changes many character names, some of the circumstances and background, and comes across as a movie being made in 2017. Its characters are mostly forgettable. This 1974, and the 2010 TV film, will be the standards for Christie's novel, should any efforts be made to make another movie. And if that happens, it's not likely to match the star-studded cast of this 1974 masterpiece. Altogether, the players in this film won 45 major film and stage awards in their careers. They won 8 Oscars and had 25 more Academy Awards nominations. They won 16 Golden Globes and had 32 more nominations. They won 9 BAFTA awards and had 29 more nominations. They won 6 TV Emmy awards and had 17 more nominations. And five of them won 6 Tony awards on Broadway.

The casting was really good with actors like Johnny Deep. The film is a good detective film with Hercule Poirot who solves a crime in the Orient Express train. I like the film because there are many turnaround. The suspens was always present during the movie and the end was also really good and surprising.

In December 1935, when his train is stopped by deep snow, detective Hercule Poirot is called on to solve a murder that occurred in his car the night before. With the New Murder on the Orient Express being out in Theaters for weeks now and since i'm going to go and see it tomorrow i thought that this would be the perfect time to review the original as well. But unfortunately i was very disappointed with this movie i found it boring, dumb and above all the acting was trash. Especially from Albert Finney who was over reacting as Poirot and almost sounded as Gollum from LOTR the same goes for Lauren Bacall and her character was so annoying as for the actual murder? The way that this particular person dies was so over the top and almost hilarious in a bad way and i wasn't surprised when the killer was shown and who did the crime it was kinda obvious after a while. Overall Murder on the Orient Express (1974) is an overrated and boring mess of a film that tries so much and yet it fails in every level and unfortunately it shows how some viewers and critics have stuck on the Past and think that everything that was made back then still is fresh and new in this Century well this movie is not fresh and definitely not good.
