Murder on the Orient Express. A detective novel written by Agatha Christie and published in 1934, featuring the character Hercule Poirot as the famous Belgian detective. It was adapted into a 1974 movie, TV movies, and radio and stage plays. A Japanese version was made and shown on Fuji TV in January of 2015, a 2 part special, TV movie, with an adapted screenplay by Mitani Koki, and an all-star cast.
Parts of Christie's story were based on real life events. The kidnapping case was based on the Lindbergh kidnapping of 1932. A maid from the Lindbergh house was suspected in the crime, harshly interrogated by police, and committed suicide. Christie herself rode on the Orient Express. It was said that during one of her trips aboard the Orient Express train, she and the passengers were stuck for a day due to heavy rain and flooding. On that day, some passengers on the train had apparently influenced the plot and characters of her book, most especially an American lady, a Mrs. Hilton, who was the inspiration for the character of Mrs. Hubbard (Mrs. Hatori in the SP).
