My best friend and I have watched this movie thousands of times. I taped it from the repeat airing, and apparently, this is one of the only copies in the country, and the studio didn't keep a copy. This is a great shame, the movie is a throwback to the 1970's television mysteries, they don't really do this anymore. The mystery is tweaked from the Agatha Christe book, but it doesn't suffer. The actors do a uniformly excellent job, and the use of location shooting proves what good second unit work is. The script is funny, the solution to the mystery is logical and satisfying, and if the movie was ever available on DVD, my best friend and I would pay through the nose for a pristine copy.
