Review of Seven Dials Mystery

In my opinion, "Seven Dials Mystery" is one of the best works of Agatha Christie, dynamic, lively and quite unexpected. This adaptation is the only film adaptation of the novel and I can't say that it is as good or even almost as good as the original source. Let's start with the good stuff. James Warwick and Cheryl Campbell are very good in the roles of Thesiger and Bundle, although both are not quite the same as in the novel, in my opinion, and John Gielgud is just great as Caterham, while Harry Andrews is quite good in the role of Battle. The atmosphere is quite good, and the script is very true and close to the text of the book. However, for me, the film adaptation is too tedious, the exposure is rather chaotic, and the character of the killer is something nightmarish compared to the book. All in all, good, but not brilliant. 8/10
