    As a lifelong Christie fan - and having undertaken a pilgrimage to travel to all the places mentioned in her novels (which I completed on my 60th birthday) - I do think she missed a trick not propelling the wonderful Ariadne Oliver to fictional fame.

    What a great and clever movie. Peggy Ashcroft would have made a great tv Miss Marple instead of Joan Hickson, who is my favorite. Poirot was, of course, irritating and obnoxious. No wonder she wanted to kill him off, as she said in this delightful film. Was Poirot in the books Murder at the Gallop and Murder Most Foul instead of Marple? I really should read her books again,

    This is not a bad Poirot, although I have trouble penetrating his accent sometimes when he speaks too quickly. The wig and the mustache are unfortunate, but this program is clearly not a high-budget endeavor. And at least, at the very least, they did not make him so ridiculously fat as they did Suchet, for some reason that has always escaped me. Poirot was not fat in the books, he was a small man with a touch of embonpoint, which means he was slightly pigeon-breasted. Ian Holm's outfit and configuration seem just about right to me. As for the story, well, it to is not bad.

    I’ve read every Poirot and Miss Marple many times over and although the premise of this was very interesting, this was one of the strangest and creepiest things I’ve ever seen. There was a malevolence, a darkness, to it that was out of place. And whoever did Poirot’s makeup, should be arrested. It was so awfully fake and it made him look evil and menacing, which, he so clearly, was not. In addition, Poirot would never commit murder, either with a gun or by poisoning. I’m not sure if it was in the writing or the direction, because it certainly wasn’t in the acting, but I really have to say, both Agatha Christie and Hercule Poirot deserved so much better.

      A little note of interest is that Nick Evan’s script was approved by Rosalind Hicks, Christie’s own daughter, who was arguably just like her mother when it came to know what was appropriate to do with her works. Thanks to Dr. Mark Aldridge’s research, we also know this film was appreciated by the family, so at the least, there was never any negative feelings from the family
