Agatha Christie's Poirot: The Movie Collection, Set 3

Nothing in the description I read said it was in german. I sent it back for a refund with my own stamp. they never even admitted they were wrong.

Poirot is always a favorite of mine

I've enjoyed reading Agatha Christie's books, and have seen many of the movie versions, and the actors who have portrayed "Poirot" But in my option, by far, David Suchett portrays him THE BEST! This particular collection contains, my very favorite story: Peril at End House. I really enjoyed this movie version of this story, as all of the actors play very credible characters, and it moves the story, with all of the twists and turns, so very engagingly. The story, the actors, the settings, the costumes, everything is so engaging in this story. My thanks to all who worked on making such a wonderful movie, from this intriguing story of Christie's. I've enjoyed adding this collection to my DVD library.

We like to watch dramas/mysteries that rely on writing, acting, directing and scenery. Any show that uses sex or nudity or special effects is missing one or more of those four requirements. The Poirot mysteries with David Suchet charge away on all four cylinders. These are really good family entertainment. The shows move along at a pace that allows you to exercise your little gray cells. As I watched Peril at End House, I felt something was missing until, about half way through, Inspector Japp appeared. He really adds a lot to these shows. Although, Inspector Japp was not in Dumb Witness, the plot and suspects were entertaining enough to keep me guessing throughout - unfortunately, my own little gray cells were not able to figure out the murderer until Poirot worked through his "gather all the suspects" scene. We haven't watched the third one yet, but I am sure we won't be disappointed.

I wanted this DVD set for "Hercule Poirot's Christmas." The first two copies I purchased at a local Barnes & Noble store were from Acorn and the special movie I wanted was faulty. The sound track did not match the flow of the images. Women's voices came out of the male actor's mouths. The images had a "washed out look" as far as the color showed. The second replacement copy had the same error. Hence, I finally ordered this set from Amazon.com and the Christmas film is in perfect shape as are its two companion movies. All three movies are among the best Suchet films.

Hercule at his best. Mind you it's a bit dated, but it's what you would expect of Masterpiece Theater. The only reason for 4 stars id the lack of Close Captioning. I purchased Set # 1 sometime back and it had CC.

See above. Entertainment.

I own all but 2 of the Poirot series with David Suchet as Poirot. I will eventually purchase the whole series, and will be sad when I have come to the end. David Suchet has portrayed Poirot excellently.I do not compare the movies to the Agatha Christies books. I have not read the books but will someday. I enjoy setting down at days end, plugging in a DVD of Poroit and engulfing myself in a life style of England and the world of years ago. It is hours of entertainment that I can watch over and over.Thank you

I've seen most of the David Suchet (and other) Poirots over the years but had long wanted to see 'The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding' again. We had, however, been thwarted by the fact that it also goes under the name of 'The Theft of the Royal Ruby'. By an investigative process Poirot himself would have been proud of, we tracked it down to Collection 3 (episodes in the 'Collections' series also differ from those in the 'Series' series!!!!). A simple little story (I prefer the longer ones) but shows Poirot's (or perhaps Suchet's) more light-hearted side.Six other stories in this Collection, my favourites being 'ABC Murders' and 'One, Two Buckle My Shoe', but all are worth revisiting from time to time.

I enjoyed seeing these stories on television. I have now watched two of them on this DVD, and I am enjoying them again, and appreciating more of their construction.

Bought for my partner who is enjoying them.

Typical Christie stories - enjoyable. Only problem is picture quality due to age because of when filmed.

A great tv series
