He’s credited with that name on IMDb do not me. This absolutely counts as a version of Poirot. (My guess: Miss Marple would find Poirot too sentimental.)Īnd last but not least, we have Hugh Laurie’s turn as a moustache-clad detective in Spice World. Though Christie’s two famous sleuths never met in her universe, it’s tempting to wonder whether they would have liked each other. It ran for one season and introduced the character of Mabel, Miss Marple’s great-niece, who became Poirot’s assistant. There is a Japanese animated series, Agatha Christie’s Great Detectives Poirot and Marple, starring the voice of Kôtarô Satomi as Poirot. Murders is one of Christie’s most ingenious setups (and shows that she was willing to play with form and point of view). While Randall is not a bad-looking Poirot (thin moustaches and bald head, check and check), the way he behaves doesn’t feel true to the character. The poster shows just how “of its time” this adaptation feels.
Randall’s Poirot is a bit of a buffoon, and Christie herself objected to this script. This film definitely has a light, swinging ’60s vibe that (in my opinion) detracts from the fact that it’s a murder mystery. This 1965 take on Poirot adds a dash of slapstick to the murders with mixed results. Does the woman in this poster remind anyone else of Margot Robbie? Image from IMDb.
