Russ G Clicked on this on TCM for two reasons: Robert Morley gets 2nd billing and I figured it might be an interesting mystery even though I'm lousy at following them. Tony Randall is miscast as the Miss Christie's Belgian detective and it was apparently done as a farce based on the 10/15 minutes I spent on it. Looking at the cumulative rating now I figure I didn't miss anything. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review joe m "The Alphabet Murders" is a mildly amusing Agatha Christie outing that is played for comic effect with Tony Randall as Hercules Poirot doing a passable job. OK if you've got 90 minutes to spare but nothing more than that. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie fell flat as a thriller, as a comedy, as good acting, as well as writing. It was banal, and not even well cast. Tony Randall should have been at least a passable Poirot, but he was made a buffoon. Hastings was unbelievable. Japp was boring. The director spent a lot of shots of the cast getting in and out of cars, so I guess the script ran out of directions too.

Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member In order to understand and appreciate the unique style of comedy in this movie, it is necessary to watch it more than once.
