Profile of Evil Under the Sun

The mood of Evil Under the Sun is clever, tense, and suspenseful. The plot centers around amateur detectives, an investigation, and law enforcement. It is a crime, mystery, and drama movie. Stylistically, Evil Under the Sun is talky. In approach, it is serious and realistic. It takes place, at least partly, at a resort and on an island. Evil Under the Sun happens in the 1980s. It is based on a book. The movie is known for being critically acclaimed.

Summary of Evil Under the Sun

Peter Ustinov is Hercule Poirot, the master detective, in this Agatha Christie murder mystery film. An opulent beach resort provides a scenic background to this amusing whodunit as Poirot attempts to uncover the nefarious evildoer behind the strangling of a notorious stage star. Is the killer one of the many rich and famous patrons in attendance, or is the answer even more diabolical? Before the final curtain call, Poirot must find the truth.

Users Reviews
