"Evil Under the Sun" is actually one of the better Agatha Christie adaptations though it isn't very highly though
t of. Perhaps that's because its 'all star cast' was just a little less 'starry' than usual or maybe it was just too easy to guess whodunit but regardless, it's good camp fun particularly when Maggie Smith and Diana Rigg are on screen; better still when they are on screen together. Rigg's a rich bitch just asking to be strangled, (but before she is, she gets to perform 'You're the Top' with a little hindrance from Maggie). Almost everybody else is wasted but Ustinov still makes for a marvellous Poirot. Silly then but hard to dislike.
