With David Suchet, Patrick Ryecart, Rupert Evans, Lorna Nickson Brown. But I think the combining of the Nita and Marrascaud stories actually works rather well - because both hide out in the same kinds of locations, so perhaps they really would pick the same one.The Countess's conversation and mannerisms toward Poirot are very familiar - as if they really are old friends. Why do you want her spared? Heracles was told to serve the king of Mycenae, Eurystheus, for twelve years. (A sly dig at parents today, perhaps? Poirot is convinced that his raison d'etre in life is to rid the world of crime, as he says to Hastings in Peril at End House (the novel). I thought she was supposed to have visited Alice when we first see her leaving? One, I can't believe she was that clueless about what her daughter was up to (although parents CAN be clueless about their children, as Christie often remarks) and two, she didn't show outrage and horror when Poirot disclosed Marrascaud. (Her weakness for taking jewels proves to be alive and well and is what enables Alice to set her up - she tries to plant jewels in Poirot's pocket(!) The US edition retailed at $2.50 and the UK edition at eight shillings and sixpence (8/6, 42½p). (It is Miss Lemon who knows this! ‘I’m perfectly aware that when it comes time to write my obituary, it will be illustrated by one big picture of Poirot and maybe, if I’m lucky, a little one of me. I felt oddly exposed.’, 'When you play a character for 25 years he is part of you. "My first thought is, who is SHE to talk about redemption?But added to the "personal journey" and issues about loneliness is the fact that this story ends on a far less triumphant professional note than is usual. I still rib him about it.’, Last year, when Agatha Christie's seemingly never-ending stories about her eccentric sleuth had run out, David Suchet filmed his final Poirot, took off his elaborate fake moustache for the last time - and allowed himself a little cry. At the time, I would have agree - I'm not a big fan of "love changes the criminal" endings. Cunningham?). Or, Is there a feeling (by those of us watching) that if Poirot had done something different then, the Countess could have been reformed? Poirot, he is not your love. That conversation, and Alice's very presence, sort of threw it in Poirot's face that the Countess had, well...gone further...with someone else. We have to bear in mind that, due to budget constraints, they would never be able to actually film in the Alps - this had to be done 'on the cheap', as it were, somewhere in the UK. But in The Double Clue, she is supposed to have just arrived from Russia.Did you also notice that nowhere in this episode was the first name of Vera ever used? Here, the Countess was saying him saving her child was what it would take for them to stay friends (or whatever). David Suchet has said he would not appear in a movie or TV version of the upcoming Sophie Hannah Poirot book, or anything else that is about Poirot but not written by Christie. In the original Cerberus story, Alice has the theory that Vera steals because her life has been safe and dull and she craves drama (!)(?). I inhabited him, became him'. Although not so much when the helper was a young woman (Death in the Air, Triangle at Rhodes, Three Act Tragedy.). The original Labours of Hercules book ends with Poirot clearing the Countess of suspicion of drug-trafficking, and her gratefully embracing him in the middle of the night as a result (in fact, I contend you can read that she spends the night in his flat).While I am glad certain things from the original didn't happen in the series - like Augean Stables - after watching this and Curtain I find myself wishing they had ended on a happier note for Poirot, at least making the ending of Labours more triumphant and leading to improving/upgrading his relationship with the Countess instead of the reverse (and they would not have had to change all that much - Alice IS a criminal in the original, but the Countess does not take her side.). Glad to hear Poirot is popular in India! I just struggled to think of them as the same woman. Excellent review. It becomes very obvious in Labours when he mentions that he hasn’t seen the Countess in about twenty years.
