Directed by: Sidney Lumet
Synopsis: Adaptation of the Agatha Christie mystery in which Hercule Poirot (Albert Finney) helps to solve a murder on the famous train.
Purr Blurs: Near the beginning of the film Mary Debenham (Vanessa Redgrave) is seen arriving in a car. As the car approaches, a brown tabby cat and a tuxedo cat are standing in the road.
A title card comes up reading “5 Years Later – The Asian Side of Istanbul.” Under this caption, the cats move to one side as the car stops and parks.
The tuxedo cat is then briefly seen behind the car.
Final Mewsings: Cats should know better than to hang out in the street.
