Glafira Regina O The first film I was not able to finish. Awful acting, awful plot, cheap costumes, cheap surroundings. And the film seemed to be edited in PowerPoint. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/19/24 Full Review Ted B 2.0 stars; An Agatha Christie story turned into a made-for-TV movie. It was all the rage in 1980s TV, but it was not serious moviemaking. Sometimes it worked, but I don't think it did in this case. The plot was far too predictable, and the acting was almost amateurish. However, I gave it 2 stars purely for the effort, and at least they tried to adapt a good Agatha Christie story. I just wish there had been more mystery and less cuteness... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/21/24 Full Review Audience Member the movie slow But has a great staff. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member mediocre at best, and they changed the setting as well as the time period and some of the character names. also-as much as I love tony randall, his cross dressing wouldn't have fooled anyone. zimbalist was passable; woodward, over the top. only rue mcclanahan was anything like I envisioned christie's characters. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member like most agatha christie films including this one Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Bland version of a minor Christie novel with only Rue standing out in the cast. The pacing even with the short running time is off and the usually reliable Tony Randall goes way overboard into hamminess. Perhaps another actress in the lead would have helped since Zimbalist is vapid. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
