Aug 11, 2020 · To those looking to get a little quick fix of Christie in their lives, there have been many good adaptations of her novels on the big screen, as this list will show (to be clear: only cinema releases were considered, so all made-for-TV movies are not included).
- Murder on the Orient Express (2017) Kenneth Branagh donned the movie crown of Christie’s iconic Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, anchoring an ensemble cast alongside Daisy Ridley, Willem Dafoe, Judi Dench and Penélope Cruz.
- Death on the Nile (2022) Branagh returned for the recent movie remake of another Christie novel, also another all-star affair with Annette Bening, Tom Bateman, Gal Godot and Russell Brand.
- The Mirror Crack'd (1980) Another Christie character from the 1930s, detective Miss Marple, makes a reappearance (played by Angela Lansbury) in this film, in which a local woman (Maureen Bennett) is poisoned with a spiked cocktail, and everyone thinks a visiting movie star (Elizabeth Taylor) was the intended victim.
- Witness for the Prosecution (1957) Helmed by the sure-handed director Billy Wilder and based on a play adapted by Christie from her own short story, this courtroom classic starred Marlene Dietrich as a woman accused of murder and defended by a dedicated barrister (Charles Laughton).
- And Then There Were None
- Witness For The Prosecution
- Murder on The Orient Express
- Murder by Death
- Death on The Nile
- Crooked House
The first significantly successful Agatha Christie adaptation, And Then There Were None was also the first of many interpretations of Christie’s most famous novel, Ten Little Indians. The story is simple: Ten strangers gather at an isolated mansion on an empty island and are killed off systematically for crimes they committed (and got away with) ea...
One of the most memorable Christie pictures, Witness for the Prosecution could have originated the term “spoiler warning” due to its twist ending, which shocked theater audiences when it debuted on the West End stage and later on Broadway. The plot is a doozy: Leonard Vole (Tyrone Power, in his final completed film role) is accused of killing a wea...
Probably the most famous Agatha Christie adaptation is Murder on the Orient Express, which was first brought to the screen in 1974 (and later remade by Kenneth Branagh in 2017). Directed by Sidney Lumet, who had just made the gritty crime drama Serpico, this film utilized the Grand Hotelformula and contained a who’s who of Hollywood in the early 19...
While not technically based on any of Agatha Christie’s works (the original screenplay is by Neil Simon), Murder By Death has enough of Christie’s signature elements to qualify. The movie is a spoof of the detective genre and lampoons not only Christie but also Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and Earl Derr Biggers, among others. Central to the ...
It took four long years to capitalize on the success of Murder on the Orient Express, and the result is a film that’s inferior in almost every way. Finney had better things to do, so Peter Ustinov takes on the role of Poirot and opts to play the detective as straight and boring as possible. The film also has a cheap, musty look that makes it appear...
Overshadowed by the success of Murder on the Orient Express in 2017, Crooked House is just as good and packs more of a punch at the end than its more popular Christie film brethren. Like most modern Christie adaptations, this one also sports an impressive cast: Glenn Close, Gillian Anderson, Terence Stamp, Max Irons, and Christina Hendricks, to nam...
