Many actors have portrayed Agatha Christie's enigmatic, eccentric and extremely intelligent detective, Hercule Poirot, but none have brought him to life as magically as the versatile and talented David Suchet.
It seems that Hercule Poirot's luxuriant lifestyle catches up with him when he suffers a minor heart attack. On doctor's orders he's sent, along with trusty Hastings, to the island retreat Sandy Cove to aid his recovery. Upon their arrival, Poirot is immediately struck by the eccentric characters already there – in particular, Arlena Stuart, the famous, yet scandalous socialite.
Despite his orders to relax, he observes Arlena openly flaunting her affair in front of her husband with a grief stricken younger man. As his little grey cells work over time, he foresees tragedy which he tries to stop. But is it too late...? En av de absolut mest älskade och hyllade långfilmslånga avsnitten ur ITV:s klassiska TV-serie med David Suchet i sin absoluta glansroll.
