Death on the Nile

Plot hole: This adaptation further exacerbates the problem of previous movie and TV versions; in the novel, Jackie would make the female designated witness talk over and over pretending also to get drunk after Linnet left to go to bed. In the Ustinov version it happened too, but the diversion didn't seem to last more than a couple minutes. Same in the Suchet version. Here, Simon even provokes Jackie practically the moment his wife exits the room. There's no time whatsoever for her to change and get in bed, let alone fall asleep.

Continuity mistake: At the reception, Miss Euphemia Bouc walks with Miss Van Schuyler and Bowers saying that money is the only friend a woman can rely on. Look at her champagne glass, a little more than half full. Her son jumps on the desk of the lobby and nods to her, and her glass filled up some. (00:22:00)
