    Sun, sea and.......??????

    In this Poirot story, one of the participants remarks that wherever Poirot arrives, a murder is sure to follow. They could be right at that!! In this one, Poirot is sent for a rest to a wonderful hotel, situated on a island just off the south coast--near to Chichester. There are a few twists and turns before the real culprit are revealed, and a few red herrings as well. What makes this, as in all these Suchet productions, so enjoyable, and worth watching more than once, is the suberb locations and period 'feel'. The hotel is sheer blissful Art Deco both inside and out, and some of the props!! Wait until you see the contraption used to ferry guests to the hotel. And how many will be able to name the village through which the villain is chased by Hastings and the police? A mystery within a mystery--typical Agatha Christie.

    No charm of the original

    I love the original version with Diana Rigg and Peter Ustinov but unfortunately this one lacks the charm and sense of danger. The actress who plays Arlena is not as believeable as Diana Rigg and I found the whole film disapppointing. In my complete collection of Agatha Christie books and films this one is replaced by the orginal with Diana Rigg upon my shelves.
