Based on a well-read Agatha Christie novel, this movie has been made several times. Of course, everyone has a different impression of Hercule Poirot. Because this was a movie and follows a screenplay it does not have to be the book. However, the teleplay play by Stephen Harrigan seemed a tad contrived and Molina seems to be sleepwalking through it. The real problem comes in trying to adapt it to a different era. So far every attempt to bring Christie into the modern age has met with the problem that it is the era that adds the charm and mystery to the story, not the plot.
