Content
A number of scenes identify the quirkiness of the detective, and is Sherlock Holmes like ability to know things about the other passengers on the train. The train chuggs along through the snow. The passengers are interviewed during the investigation. The denoument takes place.
A View
This outing has received mixed reviews, some critics comparing it unfavourably to a 1974 version. This Poirot is no fun, in fact no-one even cracked a smile on the screen, and neither did we in the audience, so those who remember the Peter Ustinov or David Suchet versions of the detective might give it a miss.
