Critic Reviews for Evil Under the Sun

All Critics (7) | Top Critics (1)

Perhaps less celebrated and well-remembered than the earlier Brabourne and Goodwin Christie adaptations beginning with Murder on the Orient Express in 1974, Evil Under the Sun is easily their equal and possibly even the best of them.

Evil Under the Sun is a nifty screen adaptation of a 1940 Agatha Christie novel.

Peter Ustinov is as affable as always, but Agatha Christie's dreary formula just looks silly in this day and age.
