The Agatha Christie Megaset Collection Directed by Andrew Grieve, Brian Farnham, Christopher Petit, David Tucker, John Davies, 2004
Jane Marple, with her knitting never far from her side, is the perfect picture of the benevolent elderly aunt. But appearances can be deceiving… Diminutive, fastidious and impeccably mannered, Hercule Poirot seems a classic Continental gentleman.
Crack open the Christie case file with this collector’s set featuring favorite tales from the Grand Dame of Crime. Joan Hickson, Christie’s personal choice to play the spinster sleuth, stars in nine Miss Marple movies. And the inimitable David Suchet returns to his trademark role as the dapper Poirot in four feature-length films produced by Brian Eastman (Traffik, Jeeves & Wooster).
From Poirot’s uncomfortable foray in the Mesopotamian desert to Miss Marple’s eventful train trip from Paddington, Christie’s deliciously devious world unfolds with these acclaimed adaptations.
