John Guillermin

Director

John Guillermin (11 December 1925 – 27 September 2015) was a British film director known for large-scale studio films including King Kong (1976), The Towering Inferno (1974) and Death on the Nile (1978).

Guillermin directed feature films across multiple genres and worked with major stars. Publicly verifiable highlights of his career include King Kong (1976), The Towering Inferno (1974) and the Agatha Christie adaptation Death on the Nile (1978).

The available review (by desade) treats Guillermin's Death on the Nile (1978) as a solid, entertaining Agatha Christie adaptation. The film is praised for its cast and production values while judged not an outright masterpiece. The review situates the film after Guillermin's King Kong (1976).

For:Fans of classic mystery films, Agatha Christie adaptations, and cinephiles interested in 1970s studio filmmaking.

 And indeed, it remains an unmissable gem for enthusiasts of the genre but is simply a valid form of entertainment that only good cinema can offer to the rest of the audience.
