Hercule Poirot: Death in the Clouds 1992

Poirot: Death in the Clouds (1992)

     A woman money lender is murdered in the middle of an airline flight, there are legitimate suspects and innocent bystanders.  All passengers are asked to wait until they all can be interviewed by Inspector Japp.  Lady Aubrey is impossible to deal with and is causing a fuss for having to wait.  She is one of the suspects since she owned a lot of gambling debt money to the money lender.  She also benefited greatly by not having to pay back the money.  On top of this, she is not a very pleasant person, quite a sour disposition and very disrespectful to everyone.

     It's very funny when Hercule tries out different possibilities of how the murder was accomplished on another flight.  Inspector Japp feels Hercule made a spectacle of himself since the passengers watched his every move.  At least he knows his attempts were not how the murder was committed.  4* (I really liked this movie)

103 min, Mystery directed by Stephen Whittaker with David Suchet, Philip Jackson, Sarah Woodward, Shaun Scott, Cathryn Harrison, David Firth, Amanda Royle, Richard Ireson, Eve Pearce.

Note:  Blockbuster 3*, imdb 7.9 out of 10, not listed on Rotten Tomatoes.
