5.0 out of 5 stars A very entertaining and enjoyable Agatha Christie mystery, 12 Nov 2000
By A Customer
I greatly enjoyed this film in which Peter Ustinov plays Hercule Poirot. The scene is set in an English manor house and the actual filming took place at West Wycombe Park, Buckinghamshire.

Poirot must solve the murder of a young girl who is brutally killed during a game "murder hunt" and there appears to be no apparent motive. Another young lady goes missing and when a dead body is found in a nearby river Poirot must use his little grey cells to piece all the evidence together.

I greatly enjoyed Peter Ustinov's performance and think he is the perfect Hercule Poirot. I liked it when he said to Sally Legg in the folly "you wish you were still the Bohemian artist from Chelsea?"

I also enjoyed Jonathan Cecil's performance as Captain Hastings, but was not too keen on Jean Stapleton.

Look out for the beautifully painted ceilings of the manor house, which was once inhabited by Sir Francis Dashwood.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty bad, 24 Nov 2003
By Suroor Alikhan "suroora" (Geneva, Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is not one of the best productions of Christie's books. The acting isn't great--with the exception of Ustinov and a couple of the minor characters. In fact, the person playing Hastings was dreadful. I don't what the problem is, but I still have to see a good Hastings on screen. The saving grace is Agatha Christie's story, which is enjoyable.
