And now, the view from in front of the tv screen. I tried the books long ago, but never got into them. They seemed thin, too much of their time, for their contemporaries and compatriates. To become real, they had to be filmed from hindsight as lush period pieces.

The Ustinov version was one of my favorite Christies; the wonderful score carried it, if nothing else. And those long sequences of nothing but music and hill climbing showed the ‘locked terrain’, and Poirot’s musing about sunbathers was prominent enough, memorable enough, then left behind long enough.
