All aboard for part two of our Murder on the Orient Express series! 🚂 Sam and Dave dive into Sidney Lumet’s (or "Plumet", depending on how Sam is pronouncing it that day) 1974 star-studded adaptation of Agatha Christie’s classic mystery. From Albert Finney’s eccentric take on Poirot to Ingrid Bergman’s surprising Oscar win, we unpack the glamour, the drama, and whether this lavish version of Christie’s novel still holds up.

🔥 In this episode we cover:

• 🎭 The legendary ensemble cast: Sean Connery, Lauren Bacall, Vanessa Redgrave, Ingrid Bergman & more
• 🕵️‍♂️ Albert Finney’s Poirot — brilliant or over-the-top?
• 🎬 Sidney Lumet’s direction and the behind-the-scenes strategy for wrangling an all-star lineup
• 🎶 That chilling score and unforgettable newspaper montage opening
• 📚 How faithful the adaptation is to Christie’s novel (and what changes stood out)
• 🤔 Does the famous twist ending still shock modern audiences?
