84-year-old Agatha Christie attended the movie premiere in November 1974. It was the only movie adaptation in her lifetime with which she was completely satisfied. In particular, she felt that Albert Finney's performance came closest to her idea of Poirot (though she was reportedly unimpressed with his too-subtle mustache). The premiere was her final public appearance. She died fourteen months later, on January 12, 1976.
In 1929, a westbound Orient Express train was stuck in snow for five days at Çerkezköy, approximately one hundred thirty kilometers (eighty-one miles) from Istanbul, Turkey. This incident inspired the setting of the book and movie.
The luxury food that is inspected and carried aboard the train early in the movie had been stolen from the set just before shooting. All of the food had to be bought again, in the middle of the night, on-location in Paris, France.
During promotion and publicity junkets, many of the stars admitted, independently of one another, that their chief reason for appearing in this movie was the chance to meet and work with the other cast members. In her memoir, Lauren Bacall recalled that the lure for most of the cast was getting to act on-screen with "Albie" Finney.
Agatha Christie's story was inspired by the notorious kidnapping, and subsequent murder, of famous aviator Charles A. Lindbergh and Anne Morrow Lindbergh's baby, Charles Lindbergh, Jr., in 1932. Charles A. Lindbergh died three months before this movie was released.
"Foscarelli: Hey, what are you reading, Mister Beddoes? Beddoes: I am reading "Love's Captive," by Mrs. Arabella Richardson. Foscarelli: Is it about sex? Beddoes: No, it's about 10:30, Mister Foscarelli."
"Bianchi: You mean you saw the man? You can identify the murderer? Mrs. Hubbard: I mean nothing of the kind. I mean there was a man in my compartment last night. It was pitch dark, of course, and my eyes were closed in terror... Bianchi: Then how did you know it was a man? Mrs. Hubbard: Because I've enjoyed *very warm* relations with both my husbands. Bianchi: With your eyes closed? Mrs. Hubbard: That helped."
