A woman must have either goodness or brains.

Hearing friends mentioned that there was an old rose, Diana Rigg, who had just passed away, so he revisited this film, as well as Professor McGonagall. When I first watched it, I didn’t know who it was. The dry land swimming shot of the movie is remembered by Orz.

I remember that it was the dubbed version I watched on TV in high school. The original version I watched this time, Poirot’s French accent is indeed distinctive. One of them is some unpronounced words such as hour. He will also pronounce h, and He can understand all kinds of French in the film, but he can understand the characters. It is estimated that French is more or less familiar in the English-speaking world?

This time I found out that Poirot broke the case in less than a day, and this time there was no assistant (which also led to a punch from the criminal at the end, what if this happened to Hastings on the side?) Some on-the-spot investigations have to go in person. The great detective's strength is undoubtedly revealed, but because of the hasty time for the judgment, Poirot was ridiculed at the end of explaining the case because there was not enough evidence, and his embarrassing expression was too cute~. In general, there are many random parts in this case. Of course, the story will look good and increase the difficulty of decryption for the “audience”, but in fact, in the environment of this film, there is a high probability that criminals will not commit crimes. After all, they already know The big detective is by my side, and in terms of motives and timing, there is no need to be aggressive in such a "closed" environment. This is also my complaint about most "Blizzard Mountain Villa" inference stories. However, the design of the key points for solving the crime in this film is still so ingenious. It is worthy of being a grandmother. The criminal "excessive force" is always the key to solving the case.

In addition to investigating crimes, this film shows a lot of life in the "upper" society. The hotel in the film feels that only the main characters in the film are living, and they also have a cocktail party every night. And watching the film is in the sunny summer, but many characters including Poirot have been in full suits for a long time, and it looks very hot. In the end, the murderer also relied on changes in clothing to show the changes in his mentality, but in the end he was finally caught by Pololo Shi's subtotal.

Diana Rigg is the tallest character in the film, and she plays a very selfish female star (and a vicious stepmother?). She shows her figure in a variety of gorgeous costumes. The swimsuit is not a bikini. Maybe it was not popular at that time, and it was still in the film. Sing a song, interspersed with Professor McGonagall's provocation. This time, Professor McGonagall played the role of a hotel owner who was facing Diana everywhere, and in the later period he had been clever to help Poirot judge the case, and he acted as a policeman in the detective drama.

The scenery of the film is really beautiful, and it is absolutely enjoyable to watch it on the big screen with orchestral music. I searched for the film’s location on the Spanish island of Mallorca, and I have the opportunity to visit the Holy Land.

    The classic old-fashioned mystery film of the 80s, not at all procrastination. Poirot finished analyzing a complicated and confusing case like a walk in the garden, and he really didn't know what to do.

    What I saw most on the Childhood Memory Movie Channel was that Poirot poured a diamond out of his pipe at the end. As a child, I thought Poirot was too smart. Now it seems that a lot has been laid before to describe the intricate contradictions between people, including every small detail. Although the pace is slow, it is essential. The detective dramas of that era are still relatively sincere, and they are just like this without making up mysteries. It's not bad, it's all rubbish now
