About

'Guy Hamilton's second and final Agatha Christie adaptation was, in effect, a sequel to John Guillermin's Death on the Nile , the 1978 film that had introduced Peter Ustinov as the definitive big-screen Hercule Poirot. Expanding on the success of that sun-drenched, holiday-set thriller, Evil Under the Sun relocates from Christie's beloved Devon to the Adriatic, allowing for some gorgeous photography (looking glorious in this lovely new restoration) in and around Majorca. Similarly, Hamilton's film takes Christie's now over-familiar plot and fills it with an array of Hollywood stars and renowned character actors, shifting the emphasis into the realms of the larger than life.'
