For the classic film, this Polo is most in line with Christie's original work.

There are several places in the film that involve the British Army. At the beginning, I thanked the Baltic British officer in Jordan, Colonel Armstrong and his serviceman, Mr. Bedos, and Colonel Absnot who served in the British Indian Army. The officer of the British army stationed in Jordan seems to be the Royal Artillry. In the film, it is stated that Colonel Armstrong is an officer of the Scots Guards of the British Army who was stationed in India. Therefore, he will only have a British orderly. It is impossible. With Indian orderly soldiers, it was impossible for Indians to join the British Army at that time. And Colonel Absnot judged from the striped tie that it was an officer of the Gurkhas Rifles, a Gurkhas Rifles in the British Indian Army that has now disappeared. Legally speaking, before India’s independence in 1947, all The Gurkha teams are all under the Indian Army. Therefore, the legal status of British officers in the Indian Army is completely different from that of officers stationed in the British Army in India.

    I don’t like Albert Finney’s interpretation of Poirot very much. I have no love for the performances of several other big names. The 12 people in the original work should be a whole, not an acting contest. The 2001 and 2010 versions are more successful than this one. .

    This should be the most luxurious film in the film based on Agatha's works, and it is also the most famous one in China. The first half hour was slightly delayed, and the handling at the end was not good. Ingrid Bergman almost didn't recognize it. The number 12 in the film is very important. Thinking of director Sidney Lumet's debut film, I have to say it's a bit ironic.
