Angela Lansbury "Death On The Nile"

Angela Lansbury, David Niven and Peter Ustinov

R.I.P. this absolute legend of a woman.
Her fabulous, boozy, horny on main romance novelist she portrayed here is one of my favourites of her 💔

[@susanrjecker9208]

Angela Lansbury out did herself- especially in the tango scene! Anybody who could upstage Bette Davis deserves an award!

[@msbeckyleigh]

[@chopin65]

Yes.

A command performance. RIP Dame Angela.

[@pheart2381]

I will watch this movie on cd this evening in her memory.💗

[@andrea.bezdan]

I did too ♥

[@kaejae24]

She deserved an Oscar Nomination for her Scene Stealing Work

[@TotzkeMike]

DARN RIGHT. She was so funny.

[@neworleansguy10]

Or how about at least a nomination? She won The NBR -or is it NSFC-for Supporting Actress-I get them mixed up-early on and was shut out from there. I’dve given her The O.

[@pix046]

One would hardly kill for that. Would one not?

[@robsieger1886]

Lansbury should have won for "The Manchurian Candidate" (1962) for her chillingly evil performance but it would have been too hard to deny brilliant Patty Duke for her role as Helen Keller in "The Miracle Worker". Too bad there could not have been a tie that year.

[@makeittrue]

@@robsieger1886 Rob, I agree. She is absolutely outstanding in "The Manchurian Candidate" & when I see how she is billed in the opening credits, it urks me. I know Janet Leigh was the big office draw but she does very little in the film. Lansbury was well known enough but that's Hollywood. She certainly made her stamp on that film. Every interview I have seen with her, she supports Patty Duke winning; however, I never thought of that tie concept and you're right. I wish that had happened as well.

[@nadiadierbou9318]

Angela is THE actress. She is so perfect in so many different roles. I admire her so much since ever 🤩

[@jamessinclair2915]

[@s.e.landeros280]

Dont tell Bette that

[@luizcarlosmunhoz7580]

I really agree with you

[@Lightshade393]

I just got to see this movie a few months ago at a special showing where Angela Lansbury was present and answered questions at the end of the showing. She was a fun lady to listen to. She even threw some shade at some little pretentious ass who had clearly just graduated from film school who had an idiotic question about whether one "reflected, eclipsed, or dove under to understand the role." She responded simply "I act."

[@jessicalillianweinberg4401]

A Jessica Fletcher-ism! It's not something Murder She Wrote is famous for - but Jessica Fletcher, as one character puts it "hits harder than a linebacker on a Sunday afternoon." (That is, she is surprisingly good at throwing shade.) In that particular episode, she gave an obnoxious shock jock a taste of his own medicine. And that episode (Killer Radio) isn't even the best example of it. She tells the shock jock she's surprised no one has murdered him yet, and then offers him a book that reminds her of him - the title is The Idiot - that's actually a little more "blatant" than some other examples, which manages to remain ladylike.

Love seeing her musical comedy background come to life on screen. She is a master at characters. Watching her chizzle and mold them into 3D is magical.

[@janknuckey]

Fabulous! Angela channeling Alastair Simm in drag

[@jessicalillianweinberg4401]

What I also find amusing is that the character Salome is a writer and at one point thinks she has solved the case. (She's partially correct, but it doesn't end well for her.) While she is one of many Christie characters who don't live to tell what they know, it can almost, in hindsight, be seen as a precursor to her most famous role.

[@Nigel_Gardiner]

"Hercules Porridge!"

[@Itstonytime77]

She should have been in the Mame movie

Yes! She was robbed, and we were robbed! I Love Lucy, but Miss Lansbury WAS Mame!

[@karen-xr5nx]

Ah! Quality viewing!

[@GenGrace-kg6jb]

Oh you splendid creature of crocodile romance.

[@lukacunningham342]

I just realized that Poirot accuses every suspect in both “Death on the Nile” and “Evil Under The Sun” except for the killer(s) and in “Murder on the Orient Express”, he doesn’t accuse anybody as it’s always done by Bouc, so does that mean he already knows who the killer(s) and is just playing around

[@robsieger1886]

I saw the movie but had forgotten that scene. Hilarious. Sadly, Salome Otterbourne becomes the third and final murder victim in the film.

[@robsieger1886]

@David Butler She does not. I read the book and saw the original film. WTF???

[@robsieger1886]

@David Butler Don't make me report you for vandalism.

[@robsieger1886]

@David Butler I told you I am not into that sick shit. If that's what you want you better look elsewhere.
AND, BTW: RIP, Salome Otterbourne. Too bad she couldn't survive the gunshot to the head, David.

[@johnnywalker796]

Lord have mercy that woman is drunk as hell

[@jessicalillianweinberg4401]

Lansbury's character in this scene does have a problem with alcohol, and is "fading" as a writer. She thinks she can get back on top by helping solve the case, but trying to tell Poirot and the others what she knows doesn't exactly end well. Nevertheless, in hindsight it feels like foreshadowing. And in the "Murder She Wrote" episode "My Johnny Lies Over the Ocean", Jessica Fletcher pretends to be drunk to trap a killer. And in that scene is remarkably reminiscent of the drunk Salome Otterbourne (whether it was intentional or not.) Edited to add: the setting is indeed a cruise. That said, the more recent adaption of Death on the Nile made Salome even more blatant in her obsession with sex, if that's possible. The original character wrote about it, but didn't seem to be pursuing it. The updated version hits on Poirot!

I sincerely hope she was paid more than Niven in this film.

[@shihtzusrule9115]

Probably not. Even now, women are paid much less than men in Hollywood. She was the older sister in National Velvet.

[@alleviation91]

@@shihtzusrule9115 Women tend not to draw in as large a box-office as their male counterparts, therefore they make less. It is Show BUSINESS, after all.

[@kdohertygizbur]

He was a big star back in the 40's and 50's not by 1978
Angela had won 3 Tony Awards and was also a movie star with 3 Oscar Nods so she probably made as much if not more

[@goodowner5000]

Niven was definitely at the 'twilight' of his career by '78 , but he was an Oscar Winner for Best Actor in "Separate Tables"(1958)- I'll still bet he was paid more, but Lansbury eclipses them both in this scene. No small accomplishment!

[@jozefvissers5644]

wow

[@gordanamagdalena4149]

So entertaining

[@44032]

In a Murder, She Wrote episode called 'Stage Struck' (12/14/86), John Shuck plays a local police chief named Merton P. Drock who is also an amateur actor and is hired to play a police inspector in a staged murder mystery during which an actual murder takes place. Drock plays the inspector as if he were Hercule Poirot and then acts like Poirot in conducting the investigation of the actual murder, except, of course, he gets everything messed up and Jessica Fletcher has to set him on the right track.
