Actress Michelle Pfeiffer talks about her new film, Murder on the Orient Express. She plays a woman travelling alone during a time when that didn’t happen often. She was asked whether she thought that her character was a reflection of Agatha Christie’s own experience, as she often traveled alone. Perhaps?

The trees are falling in a forest of corruption and depravity, and everyone is hearing them.
