"The Case of the Missing Will" is one of the best and most intriguing of Hercule Poirot episodes from the Mystery Theater TV series. If for no other reason, it's huge cast and list of possible suspects makes it very interesting. And, all of the major support cast are back with Poirot to help him uncover the culprit. Indeed, he does so with a very surprising conclusion. Miss Lemon (Pauline Moran) gets more of a role in the direct pursuit here.
It's nice to have the country scenes again filmed in an old English estate, rather than the modern building that serves for a number of Poirot mysteries. And, this one has a foray to picturesque Oxford as a plus. This story has been altered considerably from Christie's short story. But it is masterfully done and a most enjoyable Poirot case.
