Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Campy yet evil
Campy characters, a Mediterranean hotel, and a sparkling murder mystery -- what more could this big-screen Agatha Christie thriller need? "Evil Under the Sun" is both goofy and highly enjoyable, although the martini-swilling, sunny atmosphere make the murder feel rather too... relaxing.

An insurance goof and a stolen gem send Hercule Poirot (Peter Ustinov) to "Daphne's Place," a palace-turned-hotel in a small Mediterranean country. He arrives on the same boat as famed stage actress Arlena ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Hercule Poirot shows proper swimming techniques
Peter Ustinov as Hercule Poirot is challenged to locate a missing jewel. To do this he must go to a small island. Guess who has a tendency to get seasick? He requests his fee in guineas (a guinea is equivalent of 21 shillings.)

Speaking about the movie, they pulled out all the stops ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - "Everyone automatically comes up with a watertight alibi"
Evil Under the Sun is an unfortunately abysmal rendition of Agatha Christie's novel of the same name.

However, this does provide one of the few saving graces of the film - some absolutely stunning coastal scenery.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A beautiful backdrop, a sensational score and a great cast!
I first saw this film at the cinema when it was released in 1982, and it hasn't aged at all.

The cast are fabulous. Peter Ustinov is witty as Hercule Poirot, Maggie Smith is great at the amateur sleuth, Roddy McDowell camps it up in sailor suits, Jane Birkin is the down-trodden wife and Diana Rigg adds the glamour and the bitchiness. The script is full of one-liners which will make you chuckle, and the plot is full of detail. I don't think that you will be disappointed when Hercule Poirot finds ... Read More
