Watching this film was a surreal experience. I saw "Drame en Trois Actes" from the "Petits Meurtes d'Agatha Christie" first, and began to think I had seen this film before. I hadn't, but the camera angles, scenes and sets were strikingly similar. This film came first; it's quite possible that Drame en Trois Actes was a sort of remake.
Any resemblance to Christie's "Three Act Tragedy" is purely imaginary. The screenwriter shoehorns in a nod to a lesbian relationship (or a least pickup) but ignores a plot hole big enough to drive a prop wagon through.
If the first victim wasn't actually dead, who did the body belong to? There is no explanation even though the whole "solution" hinges on a dental report, which is only mentioned in passing.
The non-ending was extremely annoying as nothing, but nothing, is resolved. .
