First up is 1974 Murder On The Orient Express directed by Sidney Lumet. One of my favorite Agatha Christie of all time. Major star line up and Albert Finney is wonderful as Hercule Poirot Lots of big stars in this one Ingred Bergman got the Academy award for this one. I shall say that it all takes place on a train,yes it is murder my friend.
Interesting Agatha never liked the films from her books so it took some convincing to get her to allow this film to be made. The producer got Lord Mountbatten (the Royal Family ) to talk her into it. In the end the only fault she had was with it was Albert Finney's moustache. She decided that after this film came out she was going to kill him off before she died I remember that.
Next is 1954 Rear Window starring Jimmy Stewart ad Grace Kelly and my favorite character actress Thelma Ritter. Many critics consider this as Hitchcock's best and it is rated as 100 top films of all times. A man breaks his leg badly and spends a lot of time in a wheelchair watching his neighbors in the courtyard window . He and his girlfriend watch and figure they see a murder take place, wonderfully played.
I can not host but we do not have to show the film we could just enjoy a meal together and discuss the films . Let me know if you are interested in doing this.. Stay tuned for the month of August film lots of fun.
Your movie Diva
