Based on the novel by Agatha Christie, first published in 1934.
On a train a murder is committed. A private detective who is on board is requested to investigate it. He discovers that several passengers are connected in various ways to a crime committed by the murdered man.
A tedious movie with good production values. It's just talk, talk, talk, and some mountainous landscapes in between. Long spoken expositions about each character's past lives succeed each other in a dizzying fashion and then a logical explanation caps it all. Perhaps the most interesting point of the movie is the implicit suggestion that the protagonist suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. The previous version is considered a better movie. I have seen it but at the time it didn't impress me greatly either.
