It's a delicious adaptation, very much of its time, but also very faithful to the original text. It does surprise me that this came about after the series, but such are the performances you'd never know. Very much the origins story for Tommy and Tuppence, Warwick and Annis bring the characters to live beautifully, in a way The BBC failed to do with the attempted retelling.
Almost whimsical in tone, it's full of spies, disguises and intrigue, if you love a mystery, this is definitely for you. Great production values, wonderful sets and costumes, it looks great, the camera work suits it also.
I hadn't seen it for a while, I muddled up a few scenes from The Seven Dials Mystery, not surprising as Warwick appeared in multiple productions. I enjoy almost all of the performances, Honor Blackman in particular, she's great in the part, rather ruthless.
It's a very enjoyable watch. 8/10
