It's not one of my favourite Christie novels, but this production manages to bring it to life, it's well paced, brilliantly acted and manages not to go over the top. It manages to be witty in parts. A few minor changes only, so it does feel very faithful to the book. I like how Wally was switched to being a prime suspect, it's very logical.
Some of the American accents are hit and miss, naturally Joan Collin's is fantastic, but Penelope Wilton's is dire.
I truly love Emma Griffiths, what a gorgeous girl, she makes the role of Geena so much fun. What can be said for Elliot Cowan though, he is something special, he's an enormous screen presence. Naturally Joan Collins adds something special, whilst I've never thought her a particularly brilliant actress she is definitely iconic.
I've spoken previously how much I liked Julia Mckenzie in the role, and she never disappoints, another top notch performance from her.
It's hard to find any fault with it in truth, it's very slick, and the ending is definitely satisfying. 8/10
