Résumés(1)
When Elinor Carlisle is accused of killing her wealthy aunt and a love rival in a fit of jealous rage, Poirot's investigations quickly find motive, opportunity and means. But a tidy package far from satisfies the diminutive Belgian's overactive gray cells. With the help of a friend and admirer of Ms. Carlisle, Poirot eventually pieces together an entirely different picture of what happened. (texte officiel du distributeur)

David Suchet is a true master, and after his Poirot creation, I had considerable problems with the Agatha Christie book. The television version is beautifully "old-fashioned" gloomy and charming and extraordinarily confident, and the conceited master of the grey cortex of the brain navigates the whole plot with unprecedented interest, and partly also the confusion which a very complicated plot with the false accusation of one beautiful lady brings him. Director David Moore lets the charm of the gloomy interiors of the English mansion sound in contrast to the green interiors, and he skilfully leads the film at a tolerable pace (faithful to the book where possible) to the ending. However, this series is primarily the work of the great Suchet; otherwise it is only a decently filmed TV movie...

I'm going through an Agatha phase. I've read so many of her books that it wasn't that hard to guess what it was all about. Still very engagingly made, the acting is already a classic in the Poirot saga. So if you're in the mood for that ridiculous little Belgian man, why not check out Sad Cypress. A better 3 stars.

For quite a long time, you don't even have the feeling that a crime actually occurred. However, Poirot will show you that the crime did happen and confronts the murderer in a rather interesting form, where there is no traditional group gathering where Poirot speaks, but rather a variation that is quite intriguing and innovative.
