Reviews:

A great film.
An avid fan of Agatha Christie, I enjoyed this film greatly. Particularly because of the quality of the cast and their impressive portrayal of the characters. Although David Suchet, in his series and films makes a very impressive Hercule Poirot, Peter Ustinov creates a far more real character and is a superb actor. Lauren Bacall, as always, impresses. Carrie Fisher excels and moves on from the Starwars era, to her advantage. Am I the only viewer to “fall in love with” Amber Bezer? Hayley Mills is also excellent, but I continually find it a bit difficult to not keep remembering her as Pollyanna and her other early successful parts. As usual in Christie movies, the reproduction of the period seems to be perfect, from the vehicles, the dress, realistic and appropriate sites and scenery, to the actor’s portrayals is, in my opinion, superb.

Poirot’s little grey cells are at work again!
1937: manipulative and malicious, recently widowed Emily Boynton ruthlessly rules her step-children’s lives. She even makes a luxury family trip to Europe and the Middle East hellish. Things come to boiling point in British-controlled Palestine and fellow traveller. Hercule Poirot is soon intrigued and appalled to discover that death never takes a holiday – nor can his famed “little grey cells”.

One of Dame Agatha Christie’s best Poirot books comes to life in an adaptation directed by Michael Winner, and no, there’s no vigilantes, rapes and grisly murders in sight – only two murders, one of them being done with digitalis injection and the other by gunshot. Winner’s an odd choice to direct this lavish mystery headed by a big cast, but he does a fine job; it’s well-directed and acted mystery. Peter Ustinov, a definitive and the most fun Poirot in my book, does a brilliant job as the Belgium detective, as does the rest of the cast. But it has to be said that Piper Laurie is a standout as the horrid Mrs Boynton.

This is an excellent addition to the other two Peter Ustinov mysteries, and like those ones, the location is breathtaking, setting the scene of a little murder.
