Appointment with Death
An invitation to murder!
Directed by Michael Winner
Produced by GG Studio, Golan-Globus Productions
A classic murder mystery centered on a domineering matriarch's death, driven by blackmail and family secrets uncovered through detective investigation.
Emily Boynton, the stepmother to three children, blackmails the family lawyer into destroying a second will of her late husband that would have freed the children from her dominating influence. She takes herself, the children, and her daughter-in-law on holiday to Europe and the Holy Land. At a dig, Emily is found dead and Hercule Poirot investigates.
