Re-viewed Death on the Nile but couldn't find the woman who appeared in Evil Under the Sun. It must have been a reference to another episode. I like this better than the Mia Farrow/Michael York/Amy Irving version, which seems to have been shot for the stars rather than for the story. The performers of Linette and Simon here are a stunning couple. An appearance by a much older David Soul, the Winter Palace Hotel in Egypt, the Nile cruise on the SS Karnak, fantastic afternoon and sunset shots, writer Salome Otterbourne, evidently either a precursor or a variant of Adriane Oliver (and this one a clearer and more credible interpretation than that by Angela Lansbury), exquisite, brass pots and trays, and deck furniture sets to have tea on.

Death on the Nile is a classic (it is, as a matter of fact, the first DVD in the series) and really entertaining because it is a love story more than it is a murder story. Because, frankly, in the last analysis, there are far simpler ways to commit a murder than the first one (and the others) in this episode.
