Wissenswertes
Mord à la Carte (1985), starring Peter Ustinov as Hercule Poirot, was also based on the 1933 novel "Lord Edgware Dies". In that film, David Suchet appears as Inspector Japp.

Patzer
At one point two characters are described leaving the Royal Opera at Covent Garden at the interval between Act II and Act III of the opera that night, which is revealed earlier in the story to be Mozart's Don Giovanni. One of the most famous and popular operas ever written, Don Giovanni has only two acts.

Zitate
Hastings: We're still as much in love as the day we met.
Poirot: When, if I remember correctly, you thought her to be guilty of murder, n'est-ce pas?
Hastings: Yes, well, since then I think I've learned what makes women tick.
Poirot: Ah, yes. The ticking of the women. It has always been a mystery to Poirot.

Stays True To The Plot

Unlike "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd", as far as I remember it stays EXACTLY the same as the book. As usual, the ending is quite a suprise. David Suchet (who played Japp himself, without a script, and admires Philip Jackson) shines as usual, but I thought Hugh Fraser looked somewhat plumper. A re-make of a stupid TV movie called "Agatha Christie's Thirteen at Dinner", which had an aging Peter Ustinov as Poirot and, as I before mentioned, Suchet as Japp. Enjoyable whodunit.
