Evil Under the Sun

“Evil is everywhere. Even in paradise.”

Hercule Poirot (Peter Ustinov) arrives at an opulent beach resort and finds a guest list full of people with reasons to dislike the notorious stage star staying there. Among them are the wealthy Odell Gardener (James Mason) and Myra Gardener (Sylvia Miles), the writer Rex Brewster (Roddy McDowall), and Daphne Castle (Maggie Smith). Guy Hamilton keeps them all within sight of the resort, where a strangling has just turned the sun-struck holiday into an investigation.
