Agatha Christie Gems: "Evil Under the Sun" - Free

Join the cinephiles of the Fresh City Life Office at Denver Public Library for a free classic film featuring Agatha Christie’s iconic detective, Hercule Poirot. More info.
Movie Description from DenverLibrary.org: Arguably the most perfect Hercule Poirot ever, Peter Ustinov’s turn as the famed Agatha Christie detective is witty and sympathetic yet defiantly obnoxious and too smart for everyone else’s good. Ustinov is surrounded by a ridiculously talented cast including James Mason, Maggie Smith, Diana Rigg, Roddy McDowall and the incomparable Jane Birkin. The whole film plays like a comedy review written by Noel Coward – pithy humor, scathing zingers, fantastic sets and costumes. Evil under the sun has never been this amusing. Starring Peter Ustinov, James Mason, Maggie Smith and Diana Rigg. Directed by Guy Hamilton. 117 minutes. Rated PG. 1982.
