Sidney Lumet's all-star adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express is the ultimate comfort movie for mystery aficionados and fans of ritzy, old-fashioned Hollywood productions alike. Melanie Daniels of the Cinema Parlor Podcast is both, which makes her the ideal guest to discuss the performances of the movie's top-notch cast, the eclecticism of Lumet's filmography and how solidly Hercule Poirot's cases would hold up in court. 1974 was a landmark year for film, a convergence of exciting international cinema and the original voices of New Hollywood that still resonates 50 years later. In our new series we invite a different guest for each episode to choose a 1974 movie to talk about, ranging from giant blockbusters to minor cult curios and everything else in between.
