The Red Barn Theater’s classic film series continues July 24 with “Evil Under the Sun ," a 1981 mystery featuring Peter Ustinov as Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot, with James Mason, Diana Rigg and Roddy McDowall in major character roles. The book is based on Christie's 1941 novel.
An insurance company hires Poirot to check the authenticity of a gigantic engagement ring that had been returned to a millionaire by his unscrupulous former fiancee. Confirming the suspicion that the diamond is a fake, Poirot agrees to travel to an island resort where the ex-fiancee is vacationing and to confront her there.
Maggie Smith is featured as the owner of the island resort hotel, given to her by a former king of "Tyrania" for services rendered. Mason is a New York theatrical producer, and McDowall steals his scenes by impersonating Noel Coward as a theater critic. The whole joint is crawling with former chorus girls (the redoubtable Ms. Rigg foremost among them) and all manner of theater folk drawn to the island as former colleagues of Ms. Smith.
The complicated story is sure to please Agatha Christie fans as well as those of Peter Ustinov who wears very well as the amazing Belgian detective.
