This is a Soviet adaptation of a French mystery play. It is overlong (almost two and a half hours) and has a number of slow moments. It does grow on one, a bit, over time, however. I had little interest in it until maybe 45 minutes into it. If you are familiar with any of the stars that will be a positive.
It is all about an office happening and there's a dead body eventually. The Police inspector (Leonid Kuravlyov) isn't convincing to me as an inspector so that detracted from my engagement in this, but those who know this actor might enjoy his performance.
PS: If this movie is a 10 then The Irony of Fate (Ironiya sud'by, ili S lyogkim parom!) is a 12 and Murder on the Orient Express (1974) is a seventeen (to just make 2 comparisons off the top of my head).
