Probably to cater to people like me who’ve never even heard of it. But then again I do live under a rock.
You’ve never heard of Murder on the Orient Express??? Dame Agatha Christie’s most famous book? Don’t watch the new movie, read the book and then watch David Suchet’s version.
If it is true, you do indeed live under a rock.
I prefer the Sidney Lumet 1974 version. It has a cast to die for and as much as I like Suchet the television version adds much to the book which isn’t needed.
perhaps, but Suchet IS Poirot. No one else can play the part like he can. That is why I was recommending his version of the story.
Another version wouldn’t hurt though. Look how many versions of Hound of the Baskervilles exist. Rathbone’s version is still my favorite but I love the Jeremy Brett one too.
Yeah I know. I have seen both versions. Both are good, but I am still looking my definitive Holmes and therefore still waiting for a definitive version of Hound of the Baskervilles.
