Trivia
Thirteen at Dinner (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.

Goofs
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.

Quotes
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.

Parfaitement agréable! (Perfectly enjoyable!)

I have watched Poirot: Lord Edgeware Dies twice now and I have found it terribly, terribly enjoyable. David Suchet really brings the character of Hercule Poirot to life for me. (Fun also to watch the by-play between the single Belgian detective and his now married English friend, Captain Hastings) A very interesting character study and a good lesson on just how much trust one should give to a client. The movie keeps one guessing till the end.
