Did you know
• Sir Kenneth Branagh was aware of the over-extravagance of his character's mustache, but he justified it by the fact that there were fifteen quotes in the original novel mentioning the mustache.
• Branagh really walked atop an actual train for the scene where Poirot does the same, and despite the addition of a safety wire, he found it properly terrifying "for this [then] fifty-six-year-old actor."
• Much of the cast and extras are made up of Sir Kenneth Branagh's closest friends and acquaintances, with many of them having either been directed by Branagh in his previous projects, co-starred with Branagh in a movie or theatre production, and/or have been a member of Branagh's eponymous theatre company.
