### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Triple Murders, a cuckoo clock, and a topiary garden
*by R***T on February 5, 2014*

By RivetAgatha Christie's Poirot, The Movie Collection Set 6, consists of three discs, each with one mystery by Agatha Christie the queen of mysteries. The three discs are approximately 267 minutes long; about 1 hour and 29 minutes each. They all star David Suchet playing Christie's favorite sleuth Hercule Poirot. Ariadne Oliver, a best selling writer of mystery novels and Poirot's friend, appears in Halloween Party. They have stereo sound and are in the 16 to 9 wide screen format. These are some of Christies most entangled mysteries, and one, The Clocks, approaches being a blend of mystery and international intrigue.The Three Mysteries are:Three Act Tragedy, (1935) also published as Murder in Three Acts:Act one begins with a social gathering and dinner at the magnificent house of Sir Charles Cartwright perched high above the sea on a narrow rock out cropping. Charles Cartwright was a famous film actor who had just decided to retire and fill his spare time with a sparklingly beautiful, very young girl who called herself "Egg". The Dinner was originally set for thirteen, including Hercule Poirot and his batman Hastings, until Sir Charles's secretary, Miss Milray, who had an eye for Charles, volunteered to join them in order to avoid the unlucky number of thirteen at dinner. Cocktails were served on an open tray and as soon as a drop of the drink touched the lips of the Reverend Stephen Babington he gasped, bent over contoured, and dropped to the floor, dead.Act two takes place a week or so later, when during a similar dinner party, Sir Charles's friend and psychiatrists dropped dead after taking a sip of his wine.In Act three, several days later, a nice old lady staying in the psychiatrists clinic dropped dead after taking a bite of a piece of candy from a box that arrived by messenger. Autopsies prove that all three killings were caused by the rarely encountered deadly poison nicotine, a pure liquid alkaloid which causes respiratory failure and paralysis, killing the victim almost instantly. As you may remember Christie was exceptionally good with rare, untraceable poisons. Poirot assembles all of the participants and names the responsible party.The Clocks: (1963) The mystery takes place at Wilbraham Crescent, just before World War II. A dead man in a grey suit is found in the living room of a blind old lady who works for a near by photographer. The body was found by a typist-for-hire from the Cavendish Secretarial and Typewriting Bureau. There were five clocks in the living room but the blind lady insists that she has only one clock, a cuckoo clock. Poirot has volunteered to help a special section of the British Secret Service and was assigned to this case. He shares the spotlight with Colin Lamb, the son of an old friend. There are more killings and the authorities are stumped but Poirot solves the case, clears the typist-for-hire, and helps her find a husband, Colin Lamb.Halloween Party (1969): The fatal Halloween party takes place in Woodleigh Commons, which is about 30 or 40 miles outside of London. A thirteen year old girl who had boasted of having seen a murder is drowned while bobbing for apples. Who could have done such a cruel thing? Ariadne Oliver, the famous mystery writer who was a guest at the party, calls on her friend Hercule Poirot to come to Woodleigh and solve the mystery. Amid a large and beautiful topiary garden a number of people have gone missing. Every topiary garden must have a topiary gardener to care for it and this one is always looming among the plantings. Poirot solves the mystery and the solution surprises everyone.These are three delightful Poirot's by Dame Agatha Christie; they are must have for every collector of the best in British mysteries. Buy them and you will be able to enjoy them with family and friends many times over.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They Broke The Mold On Agatha Christie's Poirot When The Part Went To David Suchet
*by G***Y on March 28, 2013*

The numbers of reviews submitted for the various packages of David Suchet's portrayal of Agatha Christie's beloved Belgian detective Hercules Poirot is testament enough as to its popularity, with many going into considerable detail about each episode covered.I'm not about to clog up the reviews with more of the same. If you know who Poirot is there's no need, and if you don't, many of these other great reviews will fill you in nicely. I simply wish to say that each meticulously portrays the time period (1920s to 1940s before the series reaches its end) as only British productions can, and with actors who do not overplay their roles in sticking as closely as possible to Agatha Christie's books.As some have noted, the original episodes have more of an Art Deco and often brighter and less-brooding look to them with the semi-regular characters of his aide, Captain Arthur Hastings (Hugh Fraser), his secretary Miss Felicity Lemon (Pauline Moran), and Scotland Yard Chief Inspector James Harold Japp (Philip Jackson), each of whom more or less faded from Christie's books after entering the mid- to late-1930s.These later episodes, some of which were produced by the A&E Network but still stuck flawlessly to the period in appearance, began to take on a darker side in their storylines (as did her books), with the only recurring characters being George, his valet, and detective fiction writer Ariadne Oliver (played by the brilliant actress Zoë Wannamaker).The only episodes not yet available on DVD are those of the final season, which were filmed the past year - Elephants Can Remember, The Big Four, The Labours Of Hercules, Dead Man's Folly, and Curtain. The last, which brings our favourite detective, now wheelchair-ridden, back to Styles (now a retirement residence), but where it all began, also sees his death.I have them all to date, and can't wait for these to be broadcast and then finally made available on DVD.
