- CuriosidadesThe piano music being heard under the titles, played on the piano, and on the radio is "Für Elise." Elise was Sophie's code name when she went to France as a British intelligence agent. There's another irony as "Für Elise" was written by Beethoven in 1810 but not published until 1867, forty years after his death. Elise was a pseudonym for the composer's "Immortal Beloved," whose real identity is often speculated on.

"Elise" and the previous episode "Trepass" for me are the two best episodes of 'Foyle's War's' revival period. Some fans didn't like the change of pace 'Foyle's War' took in the post-war episodes, while some episodes handled it better than others it didn't bother me that much. "Elise" ends 'Foyle's War' on the highest of highs and is one of the best episodes of the latter seasons, would go as far to say that it's one of the best of the series overall and there are a lot of high points (even the weakest episodes are still decent). It's the tightest paced episode of the series' revival period and has more spirit than any other episode of the period too.
Like with many 'Foyle's War' episodes, on re-watch there was much more appreciation had for how well established the character development, tone and themes are and things that didn't quite connect entirely at first made more sense on re-watches.
Have always admired the visual detail that went into 'Foyle's War' and how high quality the production values are, with beautiful costumes, the evocative way the characters are made up, the look of the houses and cars, pretty locations and authentic-looking scenery. The music is in keeping with the mood and doesn't overpower the drama while still making an impact.
Writing is intelligent, sophisticated and thought-provoking. The story is well-paced, suitably complicated without being convoluted and is nice and twisty. The ending is both shocking and moving (even if it's not a series finale that people typically expect), a brilliant job here is done with Hilda and "Elise" is the episode where Adam bothered me least.
One thing that wasn't picked up by me but now is and admired hugely is the tackling of what was seen as truths but some really misconceptions and seeing Britain after the war in a new light. This was a bold move and dealt with a lot of honesty and tact. The background information is so well researched and is every bit as interesting as the mystery itself. The character tensions were also handled very well and added a lot of intrigue.
Michael Kitchen is truly superb as Foyle, subtle, intensely determined, commanding and above all human. One of the most interesting television detectives there's ever been and Kitchen has rarely been better. Honeysuckle Weeks is charming and loyal and have really appreciated her development, while Hilda and Arthur have proved to be worthy regular characters.
Can't fault the supporting cast at all either.
All in all, couldn't have been a more ideal end to such a wonderful series. 10/10 Bethany Cox
