Movie Reviews of Agatha Christie's Romantic Detectives (Tommy & Tuppence 1 & 2 / Why Didn't They Ask Evans? / Seven Dials Mystery / Agatha Christie A Life in Pictures)
Movie Review: Not the best of British Mystery series
Summary: 1 Stars
Compared to the Poirot, Midsomer Murders, Miss Marple, Mrs. Bradley mysteries and the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes series, this set of DVDs is a great disappointment. There are only a couple of the DVDs worth watching the rest are victims of marginal acting, weak plots and dull screen writing.
