  • Location: Cala d\u2019en Monjo (Cala Fornells)<\/li>\n
  • Title: Evil Under the Sun<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Year: 1982<\/li>\n
  • Director: Guy Hamilton<\/li>\n
  • Main cast: Peter Ustinov, Maggie Smith, Jane Birkin<\/li>\n
  • The natural gem Cal\u00f3 d\u2019en Monjo, the natural set for an Agatha Christie plot<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This is one of the most pristine and cinematic spots in Calvi\u00e0. Cal\u00f3 d\u2019en Monjo is a U-shaped natural gem, surrounded by mid-height cliffs and a lush pine forest that extends right to the pebble and rocky shore. This privileged setting, now part of a hiking route from Cala Fornells, captivated director Guy Hamilton (known for directing four iconic James Bond films) in 1982, who eventually settled in Mallorca after retiring.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”29946″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

    Filming: From Mallorca to the Adriatic<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Although Agatha Christie\u2019s novel is set on an exclusive Adriatic island, the production team chose this location to film the exterior shots of Daphne Castle\u2019s luxurious hotel (played by Maggie Smith).<\/p>\n

    In these scenes, the Cal\u00f3 d\u2019en Monjo serves as the natural entrance to the island. While the panoramic views of the island seen in the film are of Dragonera, it is here, in these crystal-clear waters and under these pine trees, that the famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot (Peter Ustinov) attempts to solve the murder of the frivolous actress Arlena Stuart.<\/p>\n

    The film boasts a cast of legendary stars, including Jane Birkin, James Mason, and Diana Rigg. The plot begins when actress Arlena Stuart is found strangled on a secluded beach. Poirot discovers that all the hotel guests had reasons to hate her, but all present seemingly airtight alibis. The detective will have to use his ingenuity to unravel the enigma in this paradisiacal setting.<\/p>\n

    The Cal\u00f3 d\u2019en Monjo is notable for its connection to the world of cinema. Located on the border between Calvi\u00e0 and Andratx, it is one of the municipality\u2019s two officially nudist beaches, along with Playa del Mago beach. Dominating Cal\u00f3 d\u2019en Monjo, on the border with Andratx, stood a 1952 building designed by architect Joaqu\u00edn Izquierdo Sancho and developed by Roberto Merl\u00edn, which would gain international fame in 1982. The house, with its rectangular floor plan and symmetrical design, featuring a large porch opening onto the cove, was the main setting for \u201cEvil Under the Sun.\u201d An attempt was made to renovate the house in 1986, but since the intention was to rebuild it, permission could no longer be obtained, as it is located within a protected natural area of special interest where new construction is prohibited.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” css=”.vc_custom_1774951366153{background-color: #E4E4E4 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]
