Synopsis

Peter Ustinov is Hercule Poirot, the master detective, in this Agatha Christie murder mystery film. An opulent beach resort provides a scenic background to this amusing whodunit as Poirot attempts to uncover the nefarious evildoer behind the strangling of a notorious stage star. Is the killer one of the many rich and famous patrons in attendance, or is the answer even more diabolical

4.0 out of 5 stars VISUAL TREAT, 2 May 2008
By G. Stevens "filmfiend" (london, england) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I last saw this on a small black and white TV years ago, and this DVD looks stunning. The film quality is very high and the period detail is excellent. (Compare this to 'The mirror Cracke'd-which, though set in 1953, looks like a 1980 TV movie).
The costumes, hair, make-up and sets are superb, and the location shooting (in Majorca) is ravishing.
All of the characters are beautifully portrayed, and although caricatures, are so enjoyably played by excellent actors, and the sparring between Diana Rigg and Maggie Smith is a joy. A special mention to Sylvia Miles and Roddy McDowall. As with several other Agatha Christie stories, the outcome does hang precariously on several situations that could not have been engineered by the culprit with certainty, but just sit back and watch Peter Ustinov do a star turn with a cast ot pro's enjoying themselves immensely.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hercule Poirot shows proper swimming techniques, 7 Sep 2008
By bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
Peter Ustinov as Hercule Poirot is challenged to locate a missing jewel. To do this he must go to a small island. Guess who has a tendency to get seasick? He requests his fee in guineas (a guinea is equivalent of 21 shillings.)

Naturally someone/s is unexplainably dispatched. Of course the island is loaded with the usual suspects. Everyone has a motive and an alibi. By this time you have completely forgotten how the movie started.

Speaking about the movie, they pulled out all the stops with expensive locations, costumes, and actors. And Cole Porter tossed in for ambiance. There was even an appearance of Roddy McDowall who played Alan "Mollymauk" Musgrave in "Lord Love A Duck".

Only Hercule Poirot can figure this out. Naturally Hercule Poirot is in the right place at the right time to hear everything and extract the truth.

5.0 out of 5 stars good old days, 30 Jul 2009
By HN Traut (south africa) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I enjoyed watching this movie just as much as when it first came out. Peter Ustinov is still the best Poirot and the music is fantastic. Maggie Smith is of course superb!
