Georgina Rylance is sweet and alluring as Katherine, Lindsay Duncan is delightful and Jaime Murray is attractive enough as Ruth. James D'Arcy is very handsome and acts well, the character of Derek Kettering is rather unlikeable at first, but later you believe that he is innocent. David Suchet of course is exceptional, and Elliot Gould is good as Rufus. The music has real flair to it as well, the script has its amusing and thoughtful moments and I thought the acting in general was fine. Flaws aside, the locations, scenery, photography, costumes and sets are gorgeous and picturesque and the train itself is imposing. Plus I found some of the final solution on the contrived side, and the direction flawed. Story wise, this adaptation of The Mystery of the Blue Train is disappointing, the plot changes are a great many and some parts were rather hard to follow.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book, it was very gripping, very compelling and fun.
