Movie Reviews of Agatha Christie's Poirot: Collector's Set Volume 5
Movie Review: It's great!
Summary: 5 Stars
Every once in a while, an actor comes along who not only plays the role of Sherlock Holmes, but actually redefines the role. Well, this has now happened with Agatha Christie's detective, Hercule Poirot! In 1989, veteran actor David Suchet (b.1946) was tapped to play Poirot, and the rest, as they say, is history.
This marvelous DVD contains three(!) of the hour-long episodes of the Adventures of Hercule Poirot:
The Tragedy at Marsdon Manor - Season 3, episode 5 (3 February 1991) - When Poirot is summoned to Marsdon to solve a murder, he is dismayed to learn that it is fictional. However, the supernatural occurrences at Marsdon Manor are not fictional, and they are about to turn deadly!
The Double Clue - Season 3, episode 6 (10 February 1991) - While a string of jewel thefts goes unsolved, the great detective is romancing a Russian countess. Can Captain Hastings and Miss Lemon get to the bottom of what is going on?
The Mystery of the Spanish Chest - Season 3, episode 7 (17 February 1991) - When Poirot is called in to protect a wife from her insanely jealous husband, he is surprised to find the husband murdered. Something strange is going on here, and it is somehow linked to a duel fought ten years ago...
This is a great DVD, one that I highly recommend to anyone who loves a good mystery, or just loves excellent drama. It's great!
