      In the coroner's office there's a calendar on the wall, clearly revealing the date in French - 18 Mai 1936, Mercredi (Wednesday). In 1936, however, the 18th of May happened to be a Monday.
    • Quotes

      Hastings: A lot of golfers are very gastronomic, you know, Poirot. Nothing like eighteen holes to build up an appetite. You really ought to try it, you know; you might find you actually enjoy it.

      Hercule Poirot: To hit a little ball into the little hole, in the middle of a large open field - I think it is not to the taste of Poirot.

    • Crazy credits
      Agatha Christie is credited twice for writing the novel after the title is shown onscreen.

    "Another enjoyable mystery!"
    Hercule Poirot travels to Deauville in France to accompany his friend Captain Hastings on a golfing holiday. On the evening of their arrival, Poirot is approached by wealthy tycoon Paul Renauld who tells him that he believes his life to be in danger. The next morning Renauld is found dead in a bunker dressed in nothing but an old overcoat and stabbed in the back with a letter opener.

    Another enjoyable feature-length adaptation of an Agatha Christie whodunit. The dramatisation by Anthony Horowitz is very good, the lighting first rate as is Andrew Grieve's direction and the performances from David Suchet and Hugh Fraser are up to their usual standards. Bill Moody also does fine work as the arrogant Inspector Giraud of the French police who believes that he will solve the case before Poirot does. The two detectives set a wager, if Giraud wins Poirot must shave off his precious moustache and if Poirot wins Giraud must give up his famous pipe after which he is named after as "The Pipe".

    FAQ3

    • I have come to the Poirot series very late and am only now working my way through the back catalogue. I wondered which golf course was used as a location in Murder on the Links, as I cant find any reference to it, but thought it looked well worth a visit.
    • What is the song sang in the nightclub? There is no mention of music heard in the Soundtrack section of IMDB.
