Sun, sea and.......??????
By a customer from Henfield, West Sussex, England , 23 Feb 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
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.- Was this review helpful to you?

No charm of the original
By Billjames (2 reviews) from kent , 04 Sep 2008I 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.- Was this review helpful to you?

Pretty Good
By TheKeeper (30 reviews) from Newmarket , 02 Jul 2008I remember watching the version of this film with Peter Ustinov as Poirot and Dame Diana Rigg as the Femme Fatale - it was set abroad in the sun, a lavish Production and it showed.
This version with Poirot is the same story but set in, oh dear, Devon, on an Island, reachable only by boat and although David Suchet is as rock-solid in the role as ever, frankly the story drags somewhat. If you like Christie go with the big film version instead.- Was this review helpful to you?

Agatha Christie's Evil Under the Sun
By Huddy (4 reviews) from Rugby , 26 Feb 2008Excellent adaptation of the book. I've stayed at the hotel this was filmed at (the David Suchet version) so it was great for me. Just one thing that bothered me a little. The producers or director or whoever it was, has changed one significant character from female to male and so has subsequently changed the character's name. I don't understand why film makers do this, and its incredibly frustrating to avid followers of the book. Other than that, excellent! Really enjoyed it!- Was this review helpful to you?

FANTASTIC
By a customer from Pleasley Notts , 14 Mar 2005I really enjoyed this film but as i am a Agatha christie fan i think all the films based on her novels are totally great.
You know if Poirot is in an area then there is going to be a murder for sure but it doesn't give anything away until the very end when you comes up with how it was committed.
I think it is really worth a watch- Was this review helpful to you?
