Ingrid Bergman in 'Murder on the Orient Express' (1974)

[fbelard]

"Fourteen thousand dollars and twenty-seven cents."

Brilliant.

She (Bergman) seems to be parodying her missionary character in Inn of the Sixth Happiness (where she was supposed to be British--!). Oscar-worthy? Maybe not, but both she and Finney as Poirot are quite funny together.

Hey, thanks. Can you upload the entire movie in English? Thanks.

[liloka2006]

she is the best!!!

[zooeyhall]

Actors in today's movies can't hold a candle to the likes of Finney, Bergman, and the others in this movie!

[SilverJBird]

the book in my opinion is better , and Finney doesn`t come off as M. Poirot too me. there is only one Hercule Poirot and that is in the actually novel.

I do find her performance a bit too deliberate.. you sense the acting machinery and turning cogwheels behind the emotions she's trying to portray.. a bit too self aware, maybe.. oh well, I've seen a lot worse.

[fbelard]

@idioten2 You have to remember the character itself is acting. That's why the performance comes as slightly exaggerated, almost cartoonish. It's not perfect, but it's convincing and very, very funny in an understated sort of way.

I love Ms Bergman,Love her , but she did NOT , deserve the Oscar or even a nomination. I know that she only won because she is Ingrid Bergman. I still feel this is one of the worst Oscar Winners in the Supporting Race, right up there with Ms Helen Hayes winning for Airport in 1970

@kaejae24 She totally deserved this ocsar!

[rohitbhat1985]

@kaejae24 she did this in one long take...its difficult to show such a range of emotions all in one take...and to top it all...Sidney lumet himself was blown away by this scene...she totally deserved it!...sometimes subtlety prevails over being loud to win an oscar!

[wildsmiley]

@kaejae24 She's Ingrid Bergman. She worked hard and acted superbly even in sub par films. She always brought the thunder. Thus, she always deserved any and all awards and accolades that she got. But then, I'm biased. I love Ingrid.

@BossMonstaSupport

I think I have to disagree. She remains very beautiful despite the years... And she still has that warmth in her eyes.

[Slowlondon]

@BossMonstaSupport Beauty always goes, it's talent what remains.

I love when she sticks in some swedish words: "nej" "ja just det!" :D

FInney is superb. An incredible actor. Yes Suchet is also brilliant as Poirot and has made the modern day portrayal his own, but Finney plays Poirot with deft brilliance and more verve than Suchet chooses to invect his character with, which is why he was nominated for an Oscar for the role. Even Agatha Christie thought he was good, apart from the moustache. You can't say that Suchet is THE Hurcule Poirot, THE only real Poirot is words on paper, everything on screen is interpretation.

[Stillgrey]

Albert Finney as Poirot?? Sooo bad!! He plays the role of Poirot so unconvincingly. His french accent is very bad....he sounds more like a russian or something.

David Suchet is THE HERCULE POIROT

[MrSteamboatWillie]

Bergman plays so good here, she comes off like a complete retard

[operras]

Albert finney is so bad in that movie. His behaviour and french accent are horrible. He got nominated for an oscar and continued to work. Amazing!

"Most Scandinavians of my acquaintance are well educated in foreign languages". My experience too.

[outinsider]

I think she deserved it. She deserved more screen time too, but I am amazed that she chose something more challenging.

Ingrid Bergman was originally offered role of Princess Dragomiroff, which is of course larger role in movie and producers thought she would have great chances of winning Academy Award. However, Bergman insisted on playing role of Gretha Olsson, since Olsson was Swedish just like Bergman was. Only problem was that Bergman completely lost her Swedish accent aftert 40+ years career in USA so she needed help from accent and dialogue trainer for the role. Trick worked as she won Academy Award
