I remember getting jumpy every time I heard a knock on the door, and I admit it I still am. Along with Murder in Mesopotamia, Hickory Dickory Dock and (especially) One Two Buckle My Shoe, this has to be the adaptation with the creepiest music. Jane Wilkinson's clothes especially are eye popping. However, putting that qualm aside, the adaptation is stunningly filmed, the sets and locations are wondrous and the costumes are beautiful. However, it was obvious sadly that in the adaptation, she was played by the same actress.

At the dinner scene, the idea ideally is that Jane Wilkinson is played by two different actresses(or something along the lines of that). About Lord Edgware Dies, I have only one complaint of the entire adaptation, and I will say I am not the first person to point it out. I will say what I love about these Poirot adaptations are that they are so well made and acted, especially Five Little Pigs, Sad Cypress, The ABC Murders, Peril at End House and After the Funeral. It is a vast improvement over the disappointing Murder of Roger Ackroyd, that is one of Christie's finest works, and like Cards on the Table the adaptation started off well but completely unravelled at the end. Lord Edgware Dies was an excellent and intriguing book from the Queen of Crime, and this adaptation is near perfect and is very true in style and in content to it despite a few forgivable liberties.
