Fair use rationale for Image:8 ustinov.jpg[edit]

Where to find the printed screenplay?[edit]

Could anyone tell where I can possibly find the screenplay, or movie script, of this 1978 film Death on the Nile? Thank you! --Roland 02:25, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

CORRECTION TO AWARDS LISTINGS[edit]

in 1979 Simon MacCorkindale won the Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Newcomer for his work on this film and The Riddle of The Sands - though at the time they were called The Evening News British Film Awards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.86.54.66 (talk) 11:42, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Location[edit]

The paddle steamer useed as location was the SS Memnon. Today SS Memnon is a wreck and offert for sale. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.121.85.96 (talk) 22:15, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Get the DVD and watch the Making of, you will find a picture of the Memnon in it, prior to her use in the film, for which she had to be extensively refurbished. The Sudan might have been used in another movie, but not in this one. The interior and night shots were done in Pinewood Studios in the UK, where parts of the Memnon were replicated on a soundstage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.115.84.110 (talk) 18:45, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is the moulage test indeed a bluff?[edit]

Is the Moulage test indeed a bluff? --Roland (talk) 05:37, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes and no: Gunshot residue tests were developed in 1933 (five years before the book came out) and at the time involved taking a wax impression of the hands (or wherever), so it might well have been called a moulage test in French (fr. for mould, making an impression/ a cast, or impression: see [oed. OED. But in the last scene Race confessed that he couldn’t have done the test anyway, so it was a bluff in that sense. Swanny18 (talk) 15:14, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Location, again[edit]

The introduction opined that the film was "sometimes out of sequence (the boat trip scenes start at Aswan, move downstream to Karnak, and then shift upstream to Abu Simbel)". This presumes that the river journey started in Aswan, as in the book, but the film depicts the Egyptian sequences beginning at Giza, so the boat journey logically starts at Cairo, moving upstream to Karnak, then Abu Simbel, ending at Wadi Halfa (though the film-makers have drastically compressed the time factor, and ignored the First Cataract completely). So I've deleted it, and added some detail for clarification. I trust everyone is OK with that. Swanny18 (talk) 15:08, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
