Happy Birthday Albert Finney and Glenda Jackson
To celebrate Albert Finney’s birthday I watched Murder on the Orient Express. Finney is practically unrecognizable as Hercule Poirot. He walks slightly hunched over. He is sometimes hard to understand with the Belgium accent. He as he breaks out the case to all those involved he talks for almost the last half hour of the film. As he paces the railcar as he talks. You watch all the great actors watching him.
It had been over 20 years since I have seen the film. The only thing I remember was who did the murder. I forgot the train was stuck in the snow, music, the costumes and the elegance of the film.
