Summary: David Suchet!
Comment: I am a mystery fan, and an Agatha Christie fan. The only actor who protrayed H. Poirot as a Christie charater is, of course, David Suchet. And that allows the stories to come to life.
I am also a David Suchet fan..
He great in all that he does (he is terrific bad guy!) And he brings that talent to the Poirot movies...... Very enjoyable!

Summary: It's great!
Comment: Every once in a while, an actor comes along who not only plays the role of Sherlock Holmes, but actually redefines the role. Well, this has now happened with Agatha Christie's detective, Hercule Poirot! In 1989, veteran actor David Suchet (b.1946) was tapped to play Poirot, and the rest, as they say, is history.
This marvelous DVD contains three(!) of the hour-long episodes of the Adventures of Hercule Poirot:
The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim - Season 2, episode 5 (4 February 1990) - When a wealthy banker walks out his front door and disappears without a trace, leaving everyone baffled. However, when Hercule Poirot suggests that he can solve the mystery without even leaving his flat, Chief Inspector Japp takes him up on his claim. Can the great detective solve such a deep mystery with just his little grey cells?
The Veiled Lady - Season 2, episode 2 (14 January 1990) - When a veiled lady comes to Poirot with a tale of blackmail, he immediately rises to the occasion. However, helping her might just put him on the wrong side of the law!
The Lost Mine - Season 3, episode 3 (21 January 1990) - Poirot's bank is embroiled in a mystery, when a man who coming to sell them a map to a silver mine disappears without a trace. There's foul play involved, but who did what, and why? This is a mystery that only Hercule Poirot can solve!
This is a great DVD, one that I highly recommend to anyone who loves a good mystery, or just loves excellent drama. It's great!

Summary: Brilliant as usual
Comment: There is something just so lovable about this Belgian detective and his little gray cells. What is incredible about this entire series is the attention to detail on costumes, settings and ensuring that the art-deco feel of parts of England can be recreated. I have always been a great fan of Agatha Christie and, in particular, the character of Hercule Poirot (I have found Miss Marple to be rather annoying). But David Suchet has resulted in a fan following for this character that has little to do with the original character. Each and every little flaw, trait, quirk, is played to great effect. This added to the already-flawless plots of Agatha Christie make this entire series a jewel in the crown.
