On the journey, Poirot meets a very close friend Bouc, who works for the Compagnie Internationale des [[Sleeping car\|Wagons Lits]]. The train is caught in heavy snows in the Balkans on the second night out from [[Istanbul]], and American millionaire Samuel Edward Ratchett is found stabbed to death the next morning. Since the train has been surrounded by fresh snow since before the apparent time of death, and the doors to the other cars were locked, it seems that the murderer must still be among the passengers in Ratchett's car. Poirot, Bouc, and Dr. Constantine, (a passenger on another car), work together to solve the case. They are aided by Pierre Michel, the middle-aged French conductor of the car. A key to the solution is Ratchett's revealed involvement in the Armstrong tragedy in America several years earlier, in which a [[baby]] was [[kidnap]]ped and then [[murder]]ed. (The fictitious Armstrong case was apparently inspired by the [[Lindbergh kidnapping\|real-life kidnapping of Charles Lindbergh's baby son]].) * [[Naval Nuclear Power School]] * [[North Pulaski High School]] * [[Sylvan Hills High School]] ==Basics== ~~The twelve suspects are:~~ Hector MacQueen, a tall, young American man, the victim's secretary and translator. Edward Masterman, a short pale Brit, the victim's valet. Mary Debenham, a tall, dark, young British woman, working as a governess in Baghdad Colonel Arbuthnot, a tall British army officer returning from India Princess Dragomiroff, an elderly and very ugly Russian grande-dame Hildegarde Schmidt, a middle-aged German woman, the Princess's lady's-maid Count Andrenyi, a tall, dark Hungarian diplomat with English manner and clothing, travelling to France. Countess Andrenyi, his pale young wife. Greta Ohlsson, a middle-aged blonde Swedish missionary returning home for a vacation. Mrs. Hubbard, an plump, elderly, very excitable American woman returning from a visit to her daughter, a teacher in Baghdad. Antonio Foscanelli, a portly and exuberant Italian businessman Cyrus Hardman, a large and gregarious Texan typewriter ribbon salesman. {\|name="userboxes" id="userboxes" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; width: 242px; border: solid 0px; " align="top" colspan="3" ~~This book is noted for its surprise ending.~~ {{User:UBX/male}} {{user 1\|black\|white\|[[Image:Mortarboard.jpg\|40px]]\| This user graduated from '''[[Sylvan Hills High School]]'''.}} {{user 1\|black\|white\|[[Image:Mortarboard.jpg\|40px]]\| This user graduated from '''[[Thomas Edison State College]]'''.}} {{user Irish}} {{User:UBX/Bicyclist}} {{User:UBX/marathon}} {{User:UBX/half-marathon}} {{User:UBX/10K}} {{User:UBX/5K}} {{User singular they}} {{User whichthat}} {{User its}} {{User its2}} {{User french spacing}} {{User NPS}} <br> ==~~Film versions~~History== <div style="float: left; border: 1px solid white; margin: 1px;"> The book was made into a [[1974]] movie entitled ''Murder on the Orient Express'' starring [[Albert Finney]] as Poirot, [[Lauren Bacall]] as Mrs Hubbard, [[Ingrid Bergman]] as Greta, [[Jacqueline Bisset]] as Countess Andrenyi, [[Sean Connery]] as Colonel Arbuthnot, [[John Gielgud]] as Beddoes (the character of Masterman), [[Wendy Hiller]] as Princess Dragomiroff, [[Anthony Perkins]] as MacQueen and [[Vanessa Redgrave]] as Mary Debenham.The movie was nominated for 5 Academy Awards, with Ingrid Bergman winning for "Best Supporting Actress". A made-for-television movie was also made in 2001. Many viewers, unfamiliar with the plot, thought that the murder mystery would take place against a dramatic backdrop of a world-famous train speeding through exotic landscapes and were disappointed to find that the train is stalled in snow for most of the movie. {\| cellspacing="0" style="width: 238px;
