Evil Under the Sun (1982)


 

Hercule Poirot solves a murder case at an idyllic vacation island in the Adriatic Sea.

As so often another pedestrian Agatha Christie adaptation with all participants playing below their abilities; only Peter Ustinov seems to be having some fun. For lazy rainy afternoons.

Halliwell (no star): "Very competent but somehow too bland package in the Agatha Christie series, not quite so lively as Death on the Nile." 

Maltin**: "An all-star cast and top production values, but still blah."
