Also on board this floating Orient Express is the legendary Belgian detective Hercule Poirot (Peter Ustinov), who hears all, sees all, and eats all, at least to judge by his bulk. Add one American lawyer trying to cover up the fact that he has been embezzling...
...clearly participated in the previous production number--oh hell, enough. The flourishes compensate for the flaws: the chorus singing tastefully offstage while only Billy and Hope dance during "It's DeLovely;" the words "knock-knock" delivered in character (Steward--bouncy, Purser--officious, etc.) by anyone knocking on invisible stateroom doors; and the nice little zings of punctuation that end a number like "Let's Step...
