It’s this generous, crowd-pleasing impulse that makes Murder on the Orient Express so fizzingly enjoyable. Branagh, the director as well as the leading man, has tried to turn Christie’s intricate puzzle box into a lavish and dynamic blockbuster, shot on sumptuous 65mm. The resulting moustache - or moustaches - is typical of the film’s go-for-broke flamboyance and scale. ![]() Instead, it looks as if Branagh couldn’t choose between the six different fake moustaches offered by the make-up department, so he decided to stick them all on in a row, and then put another one beneath his mouth, just to be on the safe side. Not for him the modest squiggle sported by David Suchet and Albert Finney when they played Poirot in adaptations of the same novel.
