Episode 28: Ingrid Bergman - "Murder on the Orient Express" (1974)

We were so enamored with Ingrid Bergman in "Cactus Flower" that we needed to see what she got her own Best Supporting Actress Oscar for. Well, 1974's "Murder on the Orient Express" is a long haul of a movie, and Bergman's fretful Greta is but a brief stop in the all-star cast of culprits. Perhaps she was right when she said it should have gone to Valentina Cortese instead. Nevertheless, Bergman is the best thing about the movie (next to the perfectly aged sight of Sean Connery) while Michael York's mustache is the worst. To say nothing of the longest champagne toast in the history of cross-country train travel, Albert Finney's puzzling putz Poirot, too many scenes of men talking, and Lauren Bacall.
