Evil Under the Sun (1982)

Another edition of Peter Ustinov as the famous Belgian detective, here Poirot travels to a hotel on the Adriatic Sea run by Maggie Smith to relocate a ring that Colin Blakely’s mistress Diana Rigg stole from him. Once there, a murder is committed amongst the intertwined group of hotel guests, giving Poirot a further mystery to solve. Maybe a tad sillier than the others, but I enjoyed the central mystery here better than Murder on the Orient Express or Death on the Nile. Even with a less lavish production than the other two, the location is stunning, the period details are delightful, and the cast, which also includes James Mason and Roddy McDowall, are top notch making it an entertaining murder mystery.
