A Great Episode
By RufusD (4 reviews) from Honiton, UK , 05 Apr 2010[Highly rated reviewer]
Close to the book - with the exception of the Lady being perceived as somewhat larger in the book. A great cast and very well played.
I disagree that the 'lack of words' detracts from the logical sifting of information by Poirot. Poirot extracts information from his environment through observation and deduction and doesn't simply weigh the verbal testimony of the suspects. He is also a master of psychology and doesn't take what he sees and hears simply at face value.
The wonderful cinematography and depth of characters makes this a truly memorable episode with greater maturity and richness than 'Murder In Mesopotamia'.- Was this review helpful to you?

By Bailey29 (5 reviews) , 09 Sep 2012For any lover of Poirot and the era of the Thirties, this is a true treat - however any purist may spend the duration noticing the HUGE amount of poetic licence contained in this adaption. I watched, wondering whether Rufus, a previous reviewer, had been watching the same programme, as this version is not true to the original at all!
This does not take anything away from the quality of the production - great cinematography, great cast. David Suchet - fabulous as ever.- Was this review helpful to you?

Very disappointing
By a customer from Haslemere , 30 Jan 2010This is by far the least entertaining of the Poirot adaptations. It seems to have been made by a recent film-school graduate sold on the doctrine that words are a sin and must be kept to a minimum. Most of the dialogue is in any case drowned out by drearily repetitive lush music. Poirot is a detective: he works with clues and information, sifting and deducing. For that to happen you need to be clearly informed about characters and events. That means words and framed actions. I hope any future episodes will be nothing like this indulgent nonsense. Bring back Miss Lemon!- Was this review helpful to you?
