242. Evil Under the Sun with special guest Hiko Mitsuzuka

\u201cAre you all comfortable? Even the murderer?\u201d We watched \u201cEvil Under the Sun\u201d (1982) with our friend and murder mystery expert Hiko Mitsuzuka, and you can find us all turban shopping for the foreseeable future. Now we know there are a ton of Hercule Poirot mysteries to choose from - from Albert Finney to Kenneth Branagh - all of them filled with the most glamorous leading ladies in Hollywood history. But there is something about this version, starring Peter Ustinov that is giving us high camp, high glamour, and we\u2019re loving every minute of it. Dames Maggie Smith and Diana Rigg are serving up their finest jewels, turbans and (maybe most importantly) their wittiest barbs as old frenemies with unfinished business. French ing\xe9nue Jane Birkin (of the famed Birkin Herm\xe8s bag) is not all she appears to be and Roddy McDowell is camping it up - as usual. Oh and if you\u2019re not yet familiar with hunky Nicholas Clay in those butt hugging swim briefs - you\u2019re welcome. We talk about how much Rian Johnson ripped off\u2026 we mean was inspired by this film when making \u201cGlass Onion\u201d and we muse over the various fits and fashions throughout this oh-so-very early \u201880s mystery.\xa0
