Agatha - 1979 - 7/10

Nicely turned, what-if thriller.
In 1926, Agatha Christie disappears for 11 days.
This film is another speculative theory, plausible enough, save for lack of proof.
Dustin Hoffman plays an American newsman who saunters into the mystery.
The chemistry between Hoffman and Vanessa Redgrave (Christie) is chilly, aloof, though that seems typical of the period and the situations.
This is not a romance.
Costumes, period settings, all top notch.
A good mystery in its own right, perhaps forgotten by most save the Christie contingent.
