AGATHA CHRISTIE COLLECTION

Essential viewing for any fan of Agatha Christie, this lavish collection of beloved classics contains three Poirot mysteries perfectly complimented by a Miss Marple outing. Sidney Lumet's Academy Award-winning MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS stars Albert Finney in his only incarnation as the Belgian sleuth Poirot. Ingrid Bergman won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role, a feat she repeated at the BAFTAS where the film had 10 nominations in total. Peter Ustinov then exercised his "little grey cells" as Poirot in the subsequent DEATH ON THE NILE and EVIL UNDER THE SUN, supported by an equally stellar cast that included Jane Birkin and Maggie Smith in both films, Bette Davis, Mia Farrow, David Niven, James Mason, Roddy MacDowall and Diana Rigg. Finally, everyone's favourite crime-solving lady, the Academy Award-winning Angela Lansbury, who moved from a supporting role in DEATH ON THE NILE to centre stage as Miss Marple in THE MIRROR CRACK'D. The list of luminaries that graced the cast lists of these films illustrates the quality of these archetypal British mysteries: Geraldine Chaplin, Tony Curtis, Edward Fox, Rock Hudson, Kim Novak, Elizabeth Taylor, Lauren Bacall, Jacqueline Bisset, Sean Connery, Anthony Perkins, Michael York and Vanessa Redgrave. EXTRAS Boxset includes 64 page booklet with brand-new essays plus x 4 posters
