This Suchet edition is excellent in spite of the lack of an all-star cast or a cosmopolitan Adriatic background.
Ustinov's movies habitually aim for grandeur and glitz (even in the delightful way Ustinow imposes his own flamboyant personality and comic improvisations on the role);. Often this happens at the cost of staying faithful to the book. The current production has it all in perfect balance. Suchet is, as always, impeccable and easily the living embodiment of Christie's creation. The production is suitably lavish. Japp, Hastings, Miss Lemon and all the secondary roles are certainly up to the task.
Highly recommended from a life long Christie fan to like-minded Christie fans!?!
