Dame Angela Lansbury's Interview | Death On The Nile (1978) 

THE 1978 VERSION IS MUCH BETTER THAN THE 2022 VERSION!!

Her tango with David Niven is one of my favorite movie scenes.

Her performance as Mrs. Otterbourne, staffed with fringes, bugles, bangles, capes, feathers and several bottles of Gin, is simply the best example for acting craftsmanship (not mentioning Costume and Directing Department!) Her Tango is Cinema Comedy HISTORY!

After watching three versions, the 1978 one still is my favourite. I never miss the opportunity to watch it again . Mesmerising cast, costumes, era and genre. Brilliant work indeed.👏👏👏

Awww Miss Lansbury and her incredible "Salome Otterbourne"

One of my all time fave movies. We lost you today Angela, but you will live on. This was just one of many jewels you gave us over 7 decades of your career. Can't wait to share them with family of future generations. ;)

I would love to see a behind the scenes video of the cast. I realize that they didn't do it at the time but the legends in this cast.

"Hey barman...this crocodile has lost its croc!"

What an absolutely incredible woman, actress and above all, storyteller! Just marvelous!

I personally believe this to be the finest Christie adaptation of all time.

One of the best if not the best actress. Enjoy every single moment she played in this movie.

She was robbed of an Oscar nomination that year.

One of my favorite pictures of all time. A cast like that you just wouldn't get these days.

The Death on the Nile from 1978 was the first Agatha Christie movie i can ever recall watching, and it has forever remained my favourite. The great Angela Lansbury is a big part of the reason why. There will never be another like her. May she rest in peace.

I saw her once walking down the street when I was a child visiting London in the 1980s. I thought she was so incredibly elegant and chic. She was dressed so impeccably. She also had this kind of impeccable hygiene. I already knew who she was and how marvellous she was in films, but she's all that and more in person.

What a Lady! ❤️

Her performance was brilliant still my favourite Death on the Nile

I can listen to her old Hollywood stories all day

Dame Angela is HILARIOUS is this role, as good as she was EVIL in Manchurian or Orient. Davis, Smith & Lansbury on bunkbeds!

The music in the short clip they showed of the boat leaving the dock is just perfect. I saw the film in the theater and that theme gives that little boat the importance it deserves in the story, like the Titanic leaving the dock in Southampton. So let's not forget the movie score, either. As for Salome Otterbourne, it seems to me she's Madame Arcady, whom Lansbury played not all that long ago, on steroids, or rather gin. As with _Murder on the Orient Express_ , the producers assembled the perfect cast for this film. Lansbury mentions the comedy and she really hams it up (along with Niven and Ustinov). The amazing thing is that she makes Otterbourne completely believable. That's acting skill.

Love the movie. Can just imagine staying in that luxury hotel with all those stars for 3 or 4 weeks filming. Would be fun and memorable.

One of our very last - if not the last - living links with the Golden Age of Hollywood. As long as there are people who love movies, Angela Lansbury will continue to be known and loved.

It's a shame that the youtube ads are blocking some of the actors in that black and white photograph of the entire cast.

She Is Amazing

Angela Lansbury still looks beautiful and dignified. Love her.

I remember seeing Angela Lansbury on stage for the first time in 2014. It was Blithe Spirit in London. She was in her late 80s then and was doing two shows a day! I don’t know what she does to stay in shape.

Just goes to show that sometimes (or many’s the time) the public gets it wrong. And the critics, as well. I remember the negative connotation when this film came out: “Death in the Aisles!” I can only think that it referred to the length of the film and the inability to enjoy a great motion picture during the time of Star Wars. And today, you can’t find a more beautiful production and perfect casting than Death on the Nile. Some treasures are meant to be discovered in plain sight but years later.

Wow what a beautiful actress and talent ❤️

Great actress, great lady.

97 years old this year !

Great singer. Classy woman.

For more than 2 decades, "DEATH ON THE NILE" was my #1 favorite Agatha Christie film. And then, one day, I finally was able to figure out and REMEMBER what was going on in the extraordinarily-complicated "EVIL UNDER THE SUN"-- and that surpassed it. But only just! I saw "NILE" in theatres twice, 2 weeks apart, and the 2nd time was able to remember every detail, so the 2nd time, it was like watching a COMPETELY-different movie! But "EVIL" never got to theatres in my area. It debuted here on HBO!! Each time I'd watch, there'd be several years apart, and I could never quite put all the pieces together. But then one night I dropped off during the last half-hour. When I woke up, I grabbed a snack, ran the tape back, and watched the last 30 minutes all by itself. IT FINALLY CLICKED. A week later, I watched it again, and for the first time, every bit of it made sense. I've never forgotten it since. The Joan Hickson MISS MARPLEs are even harder to follow. Sometimes, you really do have to watch something TWICE to "get" it.

She is still a beautiful lady. Her voice is clear and way of talking is impressive. Her admiration of Bette Davis as a great movie star and actor shows that Angela is a good hearted person. Wonderful.

The whole film was perfect. My favorite.

That movie was from like 43-44 years ago, and she is still looking fine. Marvelous.

the new remake just doesn't have the same panache as the 1978 version - you cannot replace bette davis, angela lansbury, and maggie smith in a film.

Muy gran peli, con un famoso reparto de actores y Angela Lansbury es 💯💯💯💯

La versione del 1978 e' stata ampiamente affossata e superata. Noi siamo nel 2022 e per noi vale la novita'. La modernissima versione di death on the nile del 2022. Colori personaggi intrighi e trame. Secondo me e' sbagliato pensare alla traduzione filmica del 1978 di un mistery che resta di attualita'. Grande Christie.

Is weird as her accent flits between British and American accents even for a single at times but considering she hasn’t lived in the UK for almost 80 years it’s amazing she still predominately speaks with her original accent!

Omg more Angela content please ♥️

so unnecessary to reboot this gem, so timeless that its even younger than Kenneth Branaghs Death on the Nile

Angela Lansbury is simply the best!

When was this interview? If this was 2020, she still looks super good for her age. Only slightly older than she did in the 80s with her show.

This was great!

thanks for the upload, this was brilliant fun 👏👏👏

Just compare this movie with the recent abomination. Creme de la creme cast and stuff. Phenomenal acting. Great fun to watch.

excellent movie !

Nos seguimos deleitando con de ha escrito un crimen, fabuloso, me encanta muchas gracias, doña Ángela dios la bendiga

Angela Lansbury: "There's a marvellous cast photograph of everyone in the film that I think people will really enjoy." RU-vid: Yes, let's show it and the IMMEDIATELY COVER THE WHOLE THING UP WITH ADS.

She is 94

Adore her!

Wonderful version, and a big surprise in the ending when I saw it the first time.

I love both movies , they both have their own unique style . Agatha Christie was and still is a genius. 👏☺️💖

“She was a great deal older than me...” What a back handed compliment. Oh... how priceless...

Angela Lansbury: "There's a lovely photo of all the cast together". * RU-vid ruins lovely photo with stupid thumbnails of other videos I don't care about *

The new "Death on the Nile" _pales_ in comparison to the 1978 version. I was very disappointed.

R.I.P Angela We Love You

She performed well, back then,our dear Queen of Cabot Cove.

A great star who made the journey from England to America.

She was so amazing in this film so funny keep calling hercule, porridge

What a beautiful woman.

She always looks great

Brilliant film 🎥 brilliant 👏, I Love all,the Actors, best,Agatha, Christie, ❤

2022 VERSION IS MISSING THOSE GREAT PERSONALITYS IN THE CASTING !!! BEAUTIFULLY FILMED BUT FLAT!!!

RIP Dame Angela

I love this woman! 💜

Great actress.

Angela Lansbury is the reason I watch the film. I much prefer Suchet's version in everything else, but unfortunately it doesn't have the amazing and funny Dame Angela Lansbury

She is marvelous, chic warm and smart.

The actors went through many hardships, extreme heat, etc. Why couldn't it be shot in a studio?

Although David Suchet will always be the definitive Poirot, every other actor is cast to perfection.

i Love that movie, the best version so far, Bette Davis was amazing as well as Angela Lansbury, both ladies and legends

Does anyone know when or even IF we are to see a region 1 edition of this sumptuous DVD edition?

I love her and her laughter. Her, not the stars we were supposed to be; dressing in those cramped quarters that were so cramped. Ha, she says. David Niven, how cool.

Is it mentioned anywhere here when this interview was filmed?

This is one of my favorite movies. My gosh the cast!! Angela is one of the last of the greats of the Silver Age. *Treasure her* I suspect that English people love "letting go" and getting to play broad, loud characters. I bet that Angela "had a ball".

She is the best part about the movie.😊

Rest In Peace, to the beautiful, Angela Lansbury! OH how I’d love to have had been in that room with her, Maggie Smith and the queen, BETTE DAVIS!!

Mrs. Potts! This version beats the horrible blue screen 2022 version.

The new version was not shot on the Nile.

Angela Lansbury is magnificent in Death on the Nile! She made me laugh so many times during that movie. When she got killed it was shocking. I watched most, if not all, of Murder She Wrote. Her role in The Lady Vanishes should definitely be watched. Thanks!

I hate endcards. How do you see the cast photo without all that stuff overtop?

Is that how you pronounce Ustinov???

I would enjoy seeing the picture she talked about too.... if only the stupid end of the video didn't cover it with adds!

The latest one isn’t that bad but there’s nothing like the 1978 version

Bette, Angela, Mia, Maggie, Jon finch my god

How old is she? She looks great

She had a class that is missing today

She aged well.

.......

The Nile's a little choppy tonight

She is a lady ..she isn't full of her self 👱‍♀️⚘

The latest adaptation of Death on the Nile by Kenneth Branagh is absolute garbage. A waste of film, talents, and resources. Why even try to make it when the 1978 version is a masterpiece.

I refuse to believe she's lizard people. Lizard people don't make you cry when they sing...

She was not good as Salome Otterborme as Frances de la Tour was. She was far better

Dame Angela Lansbury lost her British Accent !

That Woman was always old

She smashed Salome Osborne.

Can you please remove the stupid banners from the photo on screen?

If you watch the trailer…it’s so dramatic! They completely take the comedy out. I bet the 2022 movie makes that same mistake.
