"Murder on the Orient Express" Film and Discussion

"Murder on the Orient Express" Film and Discussion

Are you a fan of the 1974 movie based on Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express? It will be shown by the Lake Park Film Appreciation Society on Wednesday, March 12. The Society's organizer, Don Fulmer, will lead a discussion on the film and he has asked me to speak a little, too. 

I'll be talking about how Christie described the detective, Hercule Poirot, in her novels and how Poirot has been portrayed on stage, film, and television. It's interesting to see the interpretations of some actors! You have to wonder if they read the books...

This is the Albert Finney-as-Poirot version and the rest of the cast is equally stupendous:  Lauren Bacall, Ingrid Bergman, Sean Connery, Anthony Perkins, Vanessa Redgrave, Michael York, John Gielgud — it's just an amazing group of actors. 

This presentation by the Lake Park Film Appreciation Society is open to the public and free to attend. The film will be shown in the West Campus Auditorium of Lake Park High School, 500 W. Bryn Mawr Avenue in Roselle, starting at 6:00p. For more information, see their website.

It's been a while since I saw this movie, so I'm looking forward to it. Come and join us!

What is Agatha Annotated?

This website is the home of the Agatha Christie database as annotated by Kate Gingold, hence the name Agatha Annotated.

It's a rich glossary of

  • nearly 1900 terms
  • over 200 illustrations
  • 347 French phrases

Kate found them while reading Agatha Christie novels, and wrote them, along with definitions curated from years of research, into this database.

Currently the first 11 Christie books, those she wrote in the 1920s, are annotated here. 

Anybody can be a member and gain access to this rich glossary. Visit the Community page to learn the details.

We took the 1920s terms and published a book, Agatha Annotated: Investigating the Books of the 1920s, now available on Amazon in Paperback or Kindle format.

Kate will be adding to the database and members get the new terms and definitions first before the second volume is printed, plus members can comment and ask questions about the terms and Kate and other members can reply.

We hope you enjoy. Click around the pages to learn more.

Kate Gingold

... has been a huge fan of the works of Agatha Christie her entire adult life. Christie's vivid descriptions of picturesque English life in the early-to-mid twentieth century fascinated Kate, but many of the people and places were unfamiliar to her. A writer herself, as well as a researcher and historian with several local history books to her credit, Kate began a list of these strange words and set out to define them. Now, Christie fans like you and all those who come after will be able to fully enjoy the richness of Agatha Christie novels with their own copy of Agatha Annotated.
