My last viewing of this film must be longer ago than I imagined. I sat through it wondering why it had been remade... with the original cast... No, this is the one and only Man in the Brown Suit. We're halfway through and still on the Kilmorden Castle. When she booked her cabin, why did Anne /never ask where the ship was bound/? There are things to enjoy: Anne is the character from the book, a feisty heroine for our times. (Originally the 1920s.) I'm sure that line about "Women view every man they meet as a possible husband, if not for themselves then for one of their friends" is straight from Christie herself. The book was based on a trip she and her husband took round the world on a kind of trade mission. Her husband was in the role of Underhill! The original Sir Eustace was an irritating fellow called Belper.
As others have said, the pace is very slow. I may stick with it for the clothes.
