Editorial Reviews

As seen on PBS’s Masterpiece Mystery!

The impeccable Hercule Poirot is back on the case in these 11 mysteries from the hit series. David Suchet is "a near-perfect Poirot" (USA Today), portraying Agatha Christie’s beloved Belgian with intelligence and bone-dry wit. Brimming with beguiling 1930s period details, these lavish adaptations look better than ever in this remastered edition. Also starring Hugh Fraser (Sharpe) as the affable Captain Hastings, Philip Jackson (Little Voice) as Chief Inspector Japp, and Pauline Moran as Miss Lemon.

This review is from: Agatha Christie's Poirot, Series 3 [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

The Mysterious Affair at Styles (September 16, 1990)
"Hercule Poirot's ability to crack the thorniest criminal cases with unparalleled savoir faire has made Dame Agatha Christie's brilliant sleuth the most-watched detective in the history of the PBS Mystery! series and a resounding hit on A&E. Set in the summer of 1917, The Mysterious Affair at Styles follows the war-wounded Hastings (Hugh Fraser) to the Styles St. Mary estate of his friend John Cavendish. The Cavendish household is wrought with tension due to the marriage of John's widowed mother to a suspicious younger man. In the village, Hastings runs into his old friend Hercule Poirot (David Suchet), a famous Belgian detective. When the estate's trouble turns deadly, the friends unite to solve a most baffling case."

This review is from: Agatha Christie's Poirot, Series 3 [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

REissued, hard to find episodes, with visual upgrades. Any POIROT set is just plain GOOD murder mystery. Agatha Christie suspense perfect. David Suchet acting excellence. Combined they make any British Mystery viewer salivate. Add top guest stars in each.
SUBTITLES for the hearing and dialect challenged.

Episodes on disc one:
The Mysterious Affair at Styles-Hastings finally joins Poirot on a case
How Does Your Garden Grow?-it's a murder case
The Million Dollar Bond Robbery-going international on this bank case
Disc 2
The Plymouth Express-it's intrigue, it's romantic, it's also death
Wasps' Nest-camera work by Hastings give Poirot the edge in this case
The Tragedy at Marsdon Manor-an author's plot to solve
The Double Clue-jewel theft, but is that a romantic Poirot?
Disc 3
The Mystery of the Spanish Chest-Guess who's corpse is coming to dinner
The Theft of the Royal Ruby-Prince of Egypt knows not where to turn; Poirot?
The Affair at the Victory Ball-All dressed up for the party & 2 to die
The Mystery of Hunter's Lodge-Watch where & who your shooting

Agatha Christie's Poirot has proven to be of the best filmed period mystery ever produced. It's what fans have come to expect with Poirot, Agatha Christie, Masterpiece Mystery, and the untouchable as Hercule Poirot--David Suchet.

BOTH the Blu-rays and NEW DVDs are NEWLY REMASTERED and RESTORED to their original U.K. broadcast order. This is wonderful mystery TV, never to get out of date. You WILL love every episode.
