It's because a group of crows is a murder of crows. So, if you misconstrue the meaning of the title "Murder on the Orient Express" to mean a bunch of crows on the orient express, then "A Crow on the Orient Express" becomes the singular version of the title.

except a *murder* of crows is the singular form of a collective noun.
So the title is already depuralised.

But the crows are plural. If you crop down to only one crow, you get a different word.

Crows not in the movie title.

The title is "Murder On The Orient Express" so it doesn't really work imo.
