Being a great fan of Agatha Christie's books, watching this film was interesting. Although it is almost pure supposition, the solemn air of the film means that from now on, I shall always be aware of the tragic, sad side of the young writer as I read more of her material. I wasn't all that impressed with Dustin Hoffman's Wally Stanton, but Redgrave's performance was quite impressive and Timothy Dalton, I thought, was superb as the domineering Archibald Christie. The period feel of the film was well mastered, although the music used as Agatha's theme (a whining love song) ruined an otherwise good use of period music in the film. Overall, a fine attempt at solving Agatha's own, tragic mystery.
