The Who’s Who in the Whodunnit!
Reasonably elegant but disappointing slackly-handled version of a classic mystery novel. Finney overacts and his all-star support is distracting, while as soon as the train chugs into its snowdrift the film stops moving too, without even a dramatic ‘curtain’. (Halliwell’s)
