MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS: Introduction by production designer TONY WALTON (Recorded February 19, 2008)

Summary: MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS (1974) The supremely luxurious Orient Express is ignominiously trapped in a snowdrift, and even worse, one of the passengers has turned up dead — but not to worry: master detective Hercule Poirot is on board. Agatha Christie’s mystery classic proves a triumph of style, with Albert Finney’s Poirot topping an incredible all-star cast: Lauren Bacall, Sean Connery, Vanessa Redgrave, et al.*, with Ingrid Bergman Oscaring amid five other nominations (Cinematography, Costume Design, Original Score, Adapted Screenplay, and a Best Actor nod for Finney). This podcast is an introduction by production designer TONY WALTON, recorded February 19, 2008, when he appeared at a screening of the film.
