Poirot - Peril at End House [DVD]

Once again, Captain Hastings (Hugh Fraser) and Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) take a vacation. This involves another flight Poirot would rather not take. You'd think he'd take an interest in the travel arrangements at this point; at least the Majestic looked like a nice hotel. "The food will be inedible!" The plot involves an `accident' prone heiress and plenty of suspects. "If someone wants to murder me, they can." A body shows up much later. Lots of fun, even if Poirot can't convince anyone he's the greatest detective that ever lived! "It is not a tragedy that I was born on the wrong side of the channel." Golf for Hastings, sleuthing for Poirot (Miss Lemon lends a hand and provides a psychic connection).

Peril at End House is a clever who-dunnit with an interesting twist. The protagonist is clever indeed... The episode stars Poirot's usual friends, and the very beautiful Polly Walker (Emma, Enchanted April) as "Nick" Buckley in one of her earlier roles (she was 24 then). The episode is set on the south-west coast of England - a beautiful back-drop, although most people living there haven't heard of Poirot, much to his annoyance! The location (St. Looe) is actually close to that of another holiday murder, "Evil Under the Sun" (the book, not the film).Poirot: "I can't eat these eggs - they're not the same size!"

Suchet at his best. He claims Agatha Christie plays fair in this mystery. See if you agree.

A young woman is murdered during a party where a fireworks display is featured. Just moments before, she borrowed a distinctive jacket from her cousin, who was wearing it. It seems clear that the cousin was the intended target. Once again, it is up to Hercule Poirot to ferret out the culprit. This is yet another solid entry in the POIROT series, with David Suchet providing the definitive portrayal of the Belgian sleuth. Hugh Fraser, Pauline Moran and Philip Jackson all provide solid support as usual. Another must-see for Agatha Christie fans. Highly recommended.

David Suchet, is The Hercule Poirot of all times!!!!Of course the movie meet my expectations.And, for a used DVD, it was in very good condition.I am a satisfied customer.

Always great stories by Christie. Always great performances by Suchet. This is no different. I've watched it numerous times for the acting, the scenery, and the surprise.
