During World War II, Major David Niven's batman (personal attendant) was Private Peter Ustinov.
According to producer Richard Goodwin, Bette Davis brought her own make-up, mirrors, and lights to Egypt, just in case they did not have any there.
Bette Davis, Maggie Smith, and Angela Lansbury all shared a small steamboat cabin as a dressing room. While one actress dressed in the center of the cabin, the two others would lie on one of the beds on the left or right side.
The location shoot in Egypt went for seven weeks, of which four were spent on the steamer riverboat "S.S. Karnak" and three filming in places such as Luxor, Cairo, Aswan, and Abu Simbel.
This was the first of Peter Ustinov's six performances as Hercule Poirot.
"[last lines] Col. Johnny Race: What are you thinking? Hercule Poirot: I was thinking of Molière: 'La grande ambition des femmes est d'inspirer l'amour'. Col. Johnny Race: [sighs] I do wish you'd speak some *known* language... Hercule Poirot: 'The great ambition of women is to inspire love.'"
"Jacqueline De Bellefort: [of Doyle] I was mad last night. I might have killed him. Do you think he'll ever forgive me? Miss Bowers: It's more than likely. It's been my experience that men are least attracted to women who treat them well."
