An amusing Agatha Christie film: Why didn’t they ask Evans?

| A 2022 re-creation of the Agatha Christie novel. |

Lots of great old cars in this BritBox series!

We liked it so much that we watched the 1980 version:

| Vintage cars were also a big attraction in this version. |

| John Gielgud played the role of the vicar. Many scenes involved taking tea! |
We enjoyed both of these versions of the classic Agatha Christie thriller! The plot was very much the same in both of them, but the endings were different, and the dialog was different. The sets, costumes, and old cars all seemed quite carefully chosen to emphasize the time frame, around 1930, though I don’t know enough to catch any anachronisms or inconsistencies. Altogether, it was fun to watch them one after the other even though each one is around 3 hours long. It is amazing that Agatha Christie’s novels appeal to one generation after another, and new dramatizations keep being made.

Must watch this. Usually Agatha's story adaptation for movies are well made and I like period films.
ReplyDeleteAdding both versions to my TBW list.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to watch this, there are so many great series on Britbox.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day!
I really like the movies on BritBox. I will try this one. Have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteI think I have only seen Murder on the Orient Express (the old version) so this one looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteTHis looks like fun movie watching. I don't think I've seen either of these, but it's always worth checking out a Christie film version. Hope your week is going well. hugs-Erika
