![]() I immediately recalled him from another Agatha Christie film, Death on the Nile (1978), in the major role of the husband of the first murder victim. Michael York was in an impressive run of successful films back in the 1970s, including (vintage mystery fans will recall) Murder on the Orient Express (1974), and he has kept quite busy acting for decades now, including in the farcical hit series of Austin Powers spy films, but Simon MacCorkindale a long time ago went off the map-in my case, anyway. The two leads in Sands are Michael York and Simon MacCorkindale. On the other hand, the seasonal classic film A Christmas Story (1983) was directed by the guy who also gave us the pioneering slasher film Black Christmas (1974), so who is to say about these things, really? ![]() ![]() The 1979 film adaptation was directed by Tony Maylam, whose only other film I recognized was the early slasher "classic," The Burning (1981)-not exactly, one might be forgiven for thinking, a hopeful portent for The Riddle of the Sands. ![]()
