Obviously this time jumping book was difficult to cast. Still it's unforgivable that the actress playing Elsa Greer is actually several years older than the one playing Caroline Crale. They couldn't pull it off at all. I also see comparison problems with Amyas Crale and Philip Blake. Here Philip Blake is much more handsome than Amyas Crale, who isn't very convincing as a womanizing highly confident artist. Angela Warren, in the other hand, is very well cast as her younger and older self.
Else it's a rather succesful version of the book, except the end. Caroline's, Philip's and Lucy's (Carla in Christie) characters turn out to be something they aren't in Christie, in a way that is neither necessary or succesful. Also, I didn't like it that Caroline was hanged, which she wasn't in the book.
