Saw this 1978 film adaptation of the Christie novel. Actually I missed the first few moments of the film. So when I saw Peter Ustinov (playing Poirot) I thought he was one of the other characters. :-)
I remembered David Niven (playing Colonel Johnny Race) as the guy who makes an awkward dive seconds before the Guns of Navarone get blown to smithereens.
Oh, and it was a surprise to find old Hindi movie comedy actor I.S. Johar playing one of the Egyptian characters.
One more thing.....in the temple scene - where a boulder is pushed off a pillar almost killing Simon and Linnet Doyle - the shot of various people moving at different locations reminded me strongly of a similar scene in an old Hindi thriller "Gumnaam".
