Kenneth Branagh’s adaptation of the Agatha Christie classic is littered with stars and twenty first century pizazz but lacks the simple class of the 1974 production, where a bristling Albert Finney twirls the relentless Belgian detective Poirot’s moustache. What this screening does have though, is a selection of fine wines to taste selected by somelier Tony Elvin and themed along the many stations the titular locomotive passes through.
