It's a well-structured logic drama, and our protagonist, Detective Poirot, played by Albert Finney, is more of a god than a man.
Going back to our current 2010 version, in this movie, you get the full sense that Poirot might be perfect in his detective profession, but what about in everyday life? At the beginning of the film, he makes a soldier who has made a mistake appear, causing the soldier who values honor to commit suicide. His feelings about this are: "He actually has other options. , and walked in front of the woman who was about to be killed, forgetting that God once said, "Who of you is without sin? "Allusions, just use "every country has its own laws and customs" to justify his own behavior.
