But I think Suchet made the best impression of how Christie would have wanted Poirot to be in real-life. Recently Kenneth Branagh has portrayed the role in the 2017 American mystery film Murder on the Orient Express. The other two of her creations are Miss Marple and Tommy & Tuppence, a husband and wife amateur detective team. Poirot is one of Christie's famous creations who first appeared in the 1920 detective novel The Mysterious Affair at Styles. And he is not short of suspects or motives.įor me David Suchet always comes to my mind when I think of Hercule Poirot, the fictional Belgian detective created by Agatha Christie. Now Poirot has to figure out who among the remaining guests and the owner have motive, means and opportunity to kill Arlene. And Arlena Stuart Marshall (portrayed by Dame Diane Rigg), Horace's mistress gets killed. Seven more guests and the owner of the summer palace, Daphne Castle (portrayed by Dame Maggie Smith), also come to the island. Hercule Poirot (portrayed by Sir Peter Ustinov) is called on to meet Sir Horace Blatt (portrayed by Colin Blakely) on his exclusive Adriatic Sea island to confront Horace's mistress about a diamond ring.
