## Description

Tony Award-nominee David Suchet is Hercule Poirot - dressed to the nines, impeccably mannered and infuriatingly arch, he is a detective like no other. Adapted from Agatha Christie's celebrated mysteries, each film features beautiful settings and an impeccable cast. Now, for the first time, twelve of Suchet's feature-length Poirot mysteries are available together in this collector's set. Produced by Brian Eastman (Traffik, Jeeves & Wooster), these exquisitely crafted tales of death and deception were filmed on location around the world, and features enough murder and mystery to test the mettle of our inimitably beloved Belgian sleuth. AGATHA CHRISTIE S POIROT: THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION contains all twelve A&E feature-length Poirot films: THE MURDER OF ROGER ACKROYD: Poirot's retirement in a quiet country village ends abruptly with the death of his disagreeable neighbor. LORD EDGWARE DIES: Intervening in a sticky marital situation, Poirot suddenly finds himself in the midst of murder. MURDER IN MESOPOTAMIA: Poirot visits an ancient site in Iraq just before the head archeologist's unpopular wife is killed. EVIL UNDER THE SUN: Death intrudes on Poirot's island holiday, and only he can determine who is responsible. DEATH ON THE NILE: A pleasure cruise down the Nile turns deadly when a murder is discovered on board. Thank goodness Poirot is along for the ride. SAD CYPRESS: The solution to a double-murder case appears to be cut and dry, but Poirot's impeccable instincts eventually lead him to the real truth. THE HOLLOW: A weekend retreat where all the guests appear to despise one another finds Poirot hard at work doing what he does best. FIVE LITTLE PIGS: Poirot agrees to help a young woman prove her mother's innocence, 14 years after being sent to the gallows. THE MYSTERY OF THE BLUE TRAIN: When the daughter of an oil magnate is found dead on the famous Blue Train to the French Riviera, Poirot must investigate the past to reveal the killer. TAKEN AT THE FLOOD: Mystery surrounds a young woman after her new husband is killed in the London Blitz, and the mystery deepens when a man who may be her first husband shows up dead. AFTER THE FUNERAL: Following the murder of a wealthy patriarch, Poirot is called upon to begin an investigation. The case takes a wild twist however, when his prime suspect turns up dead. CARDS ON THE TABLE: When a woman is found dead at a card game, four investigators--including Poirot himself set out to discover which guest is the killer.

Review: Twelve Feature Length Gems in the Rough - By: Revit Agatha Christie's Poirot in the The Definitive Collection contains 12 mysteries on 12 discs, each about 98 minutes long. David Suchet plays the role of Agatha Christie's favorite Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot. This is the second period in Poirot's career. His supporting sidekick and secretary are absent; however, he is occasionally joined by Ariadne Oliver, a writer of detective and other exceptional stories; and Poirot himself begins to acquire a slightly more intense personality. In at least some of the stories we see him in a new apartment with George, his gentleman's gentleman. Most of these mysteries are sensational; others are gorgeous gems in the rough. Three of the mysteries are also available with Peter Ustinov playing Poirot: Death on the Nile, Evil Under the Sun, and Lord Edgeware Dies. You can have fun with family and friends comparing the two actors playing the same role in the same mystery. After the Funeral: The Abernethie family was shocked at the family gathering when after the reading of Richard Abernethie's will Cora Abernethie bursts out with "But he was murdered, wasn't he?" A little later Cora was murdered with several strokes of an ax, and the family solicitor, Sir Entwhistle, called in Hercule Poirot. Cards on the Table: Eight guests arrived for dinner and a social evening. Then the most unimaginable thing takes place, a murder is committed. Only one of the four guests playing bridge in an adjoining room could have committed the crime. Poirot and two high ranking officers, one from Scotland Yard and the other from the Foreign Service, set out to solve the case; Ariadne Oliver's provides uninvited help. Death on the Nile: A beautiful young heiress, Linnet Ridgeway, married Simon Doyle the fiancé of her oldest friend Jacqueline de Bellefort. Linnet and Simon Doyle honeymooned in Egypt and were staying at the Cataract Hotel in Assuan when they saw Jackie who was obviously tracking them with the objective of spoiling their honeymoon. Hercule Poirot who was also traveling in Egypt and staying at the Cataract Hotel met an old friend Colonel Race (David Niven). Curiously Linnet's American Trustee Mr. Pennington was also staying at the Hotel. The next day they all boarded the water wheel boat, Karnak, for a sightseeing cruse up the Nile; trouble soon began. Evil Under the Sun: Poirot was hired by an insurer to investigate a murder on the Yorkshire moors and the substitution of a faux diamond for a stunning genuine gem that the millionaire industrialist Horace Blatt had given to a New York musical show star Arlina Stuart in contemplation of marriage. They were all staying at a swanky island resort in the Adriatic owned by Daphne Castle. There is a murder and of course Hercule Poirot solves the mystery. Five Little Pigs: A young lady retains Poirot to investigate a murder that happened many years ago for which her mother had been convicted and hung. Poirot reluctantly takes the case, interviews all of the witnesses and calls all of the players together. The outcome was not only a surprise it was shocking. The Hollow: A British week end party ends in the murder of one of the guests. The likely murderer was being shielded by the family including the murdered party's mistress. After a horse is found hiding the murder weapon, Poirot identifies the murderer and says "...go to the living; I will stay here with the dead". Lord Edgeware Dies: (also published as "Thirteen for Dinner") The most obvious suspect was having dinner with twelve high profile witnesses. More murders follow; finally all of the participants were called together to hear Poirot explain how it was done and who the guilty part was. Murder in Mesopotamia: Poirot visited an ancient archeological site in Iraq just before the chief archeologist's unpopular wife was found dead. Poirot immediately suspected that it was murder and investigated. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd: was set in the peaceful village of King's Abbot, which was over populated with unmarried ladies. Poirot had recently retired there and was engaged in cultivating vegetable marrows. According to some of Christie's contemporaries the mystery was too difficult to solve and deemed it "Foul Play"; others cried "Bravo" for the exceptional dexterity the author displayed in hiding the true identity of the murderer until the very end. The Mystery of the Blue Train: A young girl of modest means unexpectedly inherits a fortune. A disguised jewel thief was hired as a secretary by a wealthy business man who had given a priceless gem mounted in a necklace to his daughter; she is married to a hopeless gambler. The daughter was murdered; the young heiress, the jewel thief and Poirot all went to the south of France to stay in and party at a house owned by a distant relative of the heiress. Sad Cypress: It gets all tangled up when love blooms between the wrong people, and greed to inherit Hunterbury warps fair judgment. Laura Welman dies during the night without a will leaving everything to Elinor Carlisle, as next of kin. Mary Gerard dies of poisoning and Elinor is arrested. Elinor, standing in the dock, pleads not guilty but the case against her is daunting. Dr Peter Lord, who has fallen for Elinor, calls Poirot in to look at the case and begs him to save Elinor. Taken at the Flood: Lynn Marchmont returning home after service in the Navy during WW II finds it difficult settling into the life of the village she had left. She was engaged to Rowley Cloade; his family lived nearby. Her and her family members had grown accustomed to drawing on their future inheritance from Gordon Cloade, but Gordon had recently married Rosaleen invalidating his will. Gordon passed away making Rosaleen exceedingly wealthy. David Hunter, Rosaleen's brother, jealously guarded his sister's wealth, making everything very difficult. This set, "Poirot: The Definitive Collection", is a real treasure. It is a must have for every devote of Agatha Christie, and for every collector of British mysteries. Where else can you find 12 wonderful movies made from the stories of one of the greatest writers of all time, Dame Agatha Christie?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WONDERFUL - BUT SOME SCENES WILL DISTURB YOUNGER VIEWERS
*by M***N on August 18, 2009*

The quality of this collection of Poirot mysteries is better than anything I have ever seen in the realm of television production transfer to DVD. To say that the video quality is magnificent is an understatement. When I began watching these DVD's I was immediately struck by the depth and richness of the color and the brilliant clarity of the images, right down to the finest detail. A&E deserves the highest praise for treating this collection like the masterpieces of cinematography they are. For people who are familiar with David Suchet's brilliant portrayal of Hercule Poirot and the fine acting of Hugh Frasier as Poirot's good natured friend and associate Captain Hastings and Pauline Moran as his dedicated secretary and friend Miss Lemon, it goes without saying that the quality of the acting is a mark of excellence throughout the world. Philip Jackson as Chief Inspector Japp of Scotland Yard rounds out the experience as these four great actors are like welcomed family members to the viewers who know the wonder of this fantastic series. This collection is something you will treasure forever. The only thing that I did not like is the way the DVD's were packaged in the box. The box they come in is designed to hold all twelve DVD's but in order to make the box reasonable in size the DVD's are overlapped, two on each leaf of the box, one DVD on a full spindle and the one overlapping it on a half spindle. It makes it awkward to remove the DVD's carefully from the leafs. I purchased 12 separate jewel cases for these DVD's and I am storing them in the jewel cases rather than the box. It is a small price to pay for maintaining these equisitely high quality productions. I find that each of the twelve productions runs approximately 95 minutes including credits and opening. Whether you are a mystery fan or not, these video productions are wonderful to behold. Absolutely worth the investment. There is one thing, however, that I must caution you about. These productions are NOT for young viewers. Some of the scenes in these films are brutal enough to earn an "R" rating if they were shown in theaters today. For example, in the very first DVD, The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd, there is a scene in which his murder is depicted and it is a horrific scene. A knife is clearly rammed into the victim's throat, firmly held there as blood pours out, and every agonizing twitch of his screaming death throes are displayed. It is enough to give even the most jaded person nightmares. So please exercise caution regarding allowing younger viewers to watch these films. I recommend no one younger than a teenager. - Mike S.
