The Big Four. Or the time when Agatha Christie nodded

Recently I settled down to watch a full-length film, The Big Four, based on an Agatha Christie novel. An added attraction, it starred David Suchet as Hercule Poirot, a role in which he consistently excels.

To my disappointment, and then dismay, the film seemed distinctly unconvincing, as if it were some kind of inferior imitation of a work by Agatha Christie. The setting had moved from little English villages or exotic locations to a drab London facing the threat of a war  which would bring devastating attacks by the so-called Axis powers before ultimate victory.


A little research, and an interesting back story emerged.
