Muder on the Orient Express with Peter Ustinov? Based on an Agatha Christie mystery novel?

What didn't you understand? All the people on the train were somehow associated with a family that was devastated by the actions of the person who was stabbed. So they all got together to exact revenge.

LOL. I am wondering if you came in during the middle of the movie Cal. I think that movie has been made a few times with different actors in the lead role. Peter Ustinov as ScottGem mentioned, and Albert Finney is another one that I can think of who played the role. Most of the Agatha Christie's mysteries were centered around her main character Hercule Poirot, a Belgian detective who would always solve the mysterious deaths. Very much like Sherlock Holmes. The French Belgian accent isn't quite like a French accent, and of course, the actors portraying Poirot were English, so the weird accent was something of their own making. The plotline for that movie is as how Scottgem describes it. All the characters take their turn in killing the victim to exact their revenge. Personally, I prefer the book version to the movie versions.
