Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThirteen at Dinner (1985), starring Peter Ustinov as Hercule Poirot, was also based on the 1933 novel "Lord Edgware Dies". In that film, David Suchet appears as Inspector Japp.
- GoofsAt one point two characters are described leaving the Royal Opera at Covent Garden at the interval between Act II and Act III of the opera that night, which is revealed earlier in the story to be Mozart's Don Giovanni. One of the most famous and popular operas ever written, Don Giovanni has only two acts.
- Quotes
Hastings: We're still as much in love as the day we met.
Poirot: When, if I remember correctly, you thought her to be guilty of murder, n'est-ce pas?
Hastings: Yes, well, since then I think I've learned what makes women tick.
Poirot: Ah, yes. The ticking of the women. It has always been a mystery to Poirot.
- ConnectionsReferenced in Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express (2006)
Intriguing, as always, with some great twists and turns. One or two implausibilities but a reasonably good plot nonetheless. Great to see Hastings back - his naivety, lack of objectivity with regard to female suspects and accidental crime-solving make him one of my favourite long-term characters in the Hercule Poirot series. After Poirot, of course...
