Ralph Richardson steals the show, as well as Diana Rigg (Mrs. Emma Peel from The Avengers), gorgeous as ever.
The Richardson's delivery is so humorous, so articulate, so entertaining. A++++
Diana Rigg's performance was not on par with Richardson's (her German accent was terrible), nor as Mrs. Emma Peel, but that just might be my own issues ... The Avengers (TV series, 60s) was in a class of its own, and I first watched it when I was a boy. Mrs. Emma Peel broke new ground as one of the first kickass women crime-fighters. Later, as a parent, I would watch it with my kids, including my daughter ... good role model for her. Diana Rigg is awesome; what class, intelligence, energy, and beauty.
Beau Bridges' performance was lackluster, they should have found someone else for his role, anyone else.
There were many famous British actors in the movie, such as Michael Gough, Wendy Hiller (acted in Murder on the Orient Express, another Christie classic), and Donald Pleasence.
This is a movie I would watch again. For me, this is a high compliment.
