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 Tragedy at Marsdon Manor - Season 3, episode 5 (3 February 1991) - When Poirot is summoned to Marsdon to solve a murder, he is dismayed to learn that it is fictional. However, the supernatural occurrences at Marsdon Manor are not fictional, and they are about to turn deadly!

The Double Clue - Season 3, episode 6 (10 February 1991) - While a string of jewel thefts goes unsolved, the great detective is romancing a Russian countess. Can Captain Hastings and Miss Lemon get to the bottom of what is going on?

The Mystery of the Spanish Chest - Season 3, episode 7 (17 February 1991) - When Poirot is called in to protect a wife from her insanely jealous husband, he is surprised to find the husband murdered. Something strange is going on here, and it is somehow linked to a duel fought ten years ago...

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: LOVE DAVID as POIROT
Comment: Poirot has been so entertaining for me-I just retired & discovered the series & simply had to have all of the DVD's. He is also in a play in London this fall & I am planning to attend & see my favorite actor. I rented his old movies from the past & he is fantastic.

The sets of another era are so romantic & by owning the DVD's I can rerun them & see things I failed to see the first time around. What luxury to have them in my library for easy viewing. Last summer they were on Digital TV and now I can hardly find them so glad I have them when I need a "Poirot Fix"!!

Editorial Reviews:

Stamping out evil has never been so tidy or so much fun. Set in the art deco lushness of 1930s Europe, this PBS hit series evokes a time when fictional crime solving was far more elegant affair than it is today. David Suchet plays Agatha Christie’s brilliant detective with a winning combination of fussiness and charm, making his Poirot the most watched detective in the history of the PBS Mystery! series. Costars include Hugh Fraser as Captain Hastings, Philip Jackson as Chief Inspector Japp and Pauline Moran as Miss Lemon.

The Mysteries:
The Tragedy at Marsdon Manor—After refusing to stoop to fictional crime-solving, Poirot is soon occupied by a real whodunit.
The Double Clue—While Hastings and Miss Lemon work on a high-profile case, Poirot romances a beautiful Russian countess.
The Mystery of the Spanish Chest—A woman fearing her jealous husband invites Poirot to a fateful dinner party.
