Wolfgang Bouc:
Poirot?
Hercule Poirot: [distracted] oh, forgive me. My mind was temporarily elsewhere.
Wolfgang Bouc: It's a woman, isn't it?
Hercule Poirot: Regretably, yes.
[sighs]
Hercule Poirot: We are such opposites, Vera and I. She's flamboyant and beautiful; I'm reserved and homely. She'a a thief; I'm a detective.
[They laugh]
Hercule Poirot: The only thing we have in common is the refusal to let the other rule oor life... but I cannot stop her from ruling my thoughts.

This is an awful adaptation.
It's so obvious that CBS just dragged this out again to maximize the popularity of Alfred Molina these days (Spiderman 2, Fiddler on the Roof).
The only aspect of this production that held my interest was the set design/art direction. The acting was totally "Movie of the Week", as was the script.
This really did not need to be udpated. Who was it updated for? Those that enjoyed the original will be disappointed.
It's just dreadful.
Avoid it.
