  Yes, the  waltz as the train pulls away from the station is PERFECT.

  Practically unparalleled cast. Splendid production. (And blessedly free of CGI. Only hands-on craftsmen working to provide the effects.) I saw Bisset's costume once at an exhibit and it was unbelievably tiny!

  A movie that’s a pleasure to watch unfold every time I see it. I’ve seen it a lot of times. Thanks for sharing.

  To me, it's the ultimate Europe-in-winter movie. Those shots of the ferry crossing the Bosphorus at dusk are stunning.

  The train waltz is my favorite piece of film music ever!

  I've never enjoyed a "behindthescenes" presentation like this one.  Maybe it's because I've seen the movie at least a dozen times; and it never disappoints.  Your detailing here brings a focus on the individual genuis of the makers.  Thank for yet another joyous time remembering/reliving, Murder on the Orient Express.

  Albert Finney the best Poirot ever. I'm so sorry to not have found an interview with him talking about this role.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCD67-79UTE&amp;t=1266">21:06</a> &nbsp;I saw this film in 1974, I have never forgotten the beautiful music that accompanied the train’s departure. It stirred me then, and it still does, so it was fascinating to hear this background discussion. It was a stroke of genius on Mr. Bennett’s part.

  For many years my 2005 film review of Orient Express was the most popular user review on IMDb. &nbsp;It has now almost 200 favorable likes. &nbsp;I titled it &quot;It Oozes Elegance&quot;. &nbsp;I&apos;m proud of that review. &nbsp;And the film itself is in my top 10 favorite movies of all time.
