This film was quite a bit longer than I expected. It was worth it, though as someone else mentioned the acting at times was over the top. This is especially true of the lead female detective. Also, it was very easy to tell, due to the filming, that it was on set...there was something about the filming of the movie that made it seem very much like a play. It was probably that the camera angle didn't change too often. The mystery was at times very confusing and I didn't even know that the superintendent was the lead detective until close to the end of the film. Though at times hard to follow, I think this stumping detective story is worth watching. It also has an actor from a previous Agatha Christie Film--the butler from Murder on the Orient Express plays the brassy, golf-playing father in this film.

I actually enjoyed this video. The acting was a little "over the top," but it reminded me of Agatha Christie books.
