Synopsis: A recently widowed woman goes on a trip to Europe and the Middle East with her daughter, 2 stepsons, stepdaughter, and daughter-in-law, who all want to free themselves from her.
Appraisal: Very moderately entertaining whodunit, with a story that is definitely unengaging, despite being based on a novel by Agatha Christie, a master of the genre. Either this was not one of her best books, or they didn't do a good job in the adaptation (or maybe this is not the kind of story that adapts well into a movie). The film has authentic settings in Italy and Israel, which makes it scenically interesting, at least.
