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.
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.
@@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.
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."
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.
You can tell she's having so much fun playing this part. And that's what makes her performance so good in this film. Everyone was good in this film. And Angela shows it everytime she was on screen
two other great scenes in that movie - Bette Davis being manhandled by Maggie Smith on the deck; and Bette Davis being 'mooned' at by kids on the river bank! lol
omg ms lansbury is the outstanding i purchased the movie many years ago but, i mean everytime she just make me laugh so hard all my stress gone.thank you ms lansbury.
My favorite scene in the film...and one of the few times I actually like Angela Lansbury. She's in rare form as the addled Salome Otterbourne and her ordering "One more croc" is absolutely DELICIOUS!! Thanks for posting this clip!!
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. Love her. She is a treasure. . . .
I remember when I see Angela Landsbury in the tv serie"Murder she wrote".In her actor career she was playing in many movies she was also playing in the movie."Death on the Nile" from 1978 who`s mabye the best version of Agatha Christies crime novel.In oktober 11 2022 was the party over for Anglea Landsbury.And Iam happy that I got the exsperience that time when Anglea Landsbury was creative as actor,

I am Thinking We Aussies should do a Version of this :- "Death on The Murray" Except no Crocs in the Murray River. Perhaps " Death on the Fitzroy" or " Death on the Ord " These Rivers have Crocodiles. Angela Lansbury Brilliant!.
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.
@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.
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
@@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.
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
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!
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!
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.
