Finally, an Agatha Christie adaptation that gets it right – The i Paper

Based on Christie’s lesser-known (to me at least) 1944 whodunit, the three-part adaptation boasts an impressive cast that includes Anjelica Huston, Clarke Peters from The Wire and The Americans’ Matthew Rhys. Set in the 1930s, it looks fabulous, from the shimmering Devon seascapes and cocktail dresses to the Art Deco interiors. The propulsive score is more characteristic of a Hitchcock movie.
