that was the best death scene I have ever seen. still, I don't think they had to die too.

[Thedreamycatcher]

Ah ...POirot apparated in the end...

[MARVIA35]

this is one murder where im on the side of the ones who committed the crime. that was just 1 horrible bitch. the husband gets no sympathy either w/ his passive ass. glad shes dead. good riddance to bad rubbish.

[KhalidCabrero]

What bilge.  Terrible writing.

[meowkylie]

What a trip it has been..... at first I was disappointed that everything is so different from the book, but then they have done a great job on this. I find the ending romantic and original. The settings too, are superb. Dr. Gerard remains my fav character to the end :D

[asmashr209]

It could have been nicer if it was like the novel, a bit disappointed, but this is also a nice movie!

[janneyisin]

My life too was crushed beyond hope until like Poirot telling Ginevra ' Only Almighty God can heal this kind of brokeness, otherwise we would all be mad." I wish more people would believe this and let the Power of the Holy Spirit restore them to wholeness.

[mfaithdrew]

You have to admit the sets, locations and production qualities of this series were perfection.

[BlueLarkFly]

I am Granada's fan!!!!

[timothyj1966]

Amazing actors. Great story - and ending. Hope they complete the whole Christie catalogue with Suchet.... very well done!

[AerenGrey]

The moral of the story? (Spoiler) Never trust a Nun, they will sell you into slavery. :]

[newfypearl]

Thank you.

[feuilletoniste]

@newfypearl (ctd) Also, they already had their plan for Ginny's salvation - the death of her adoptive mother!

But I agree with you that something seems to be missing in the abduction plotline - what are Sister Agnieszka's motives? Is she really a nun, or just a slaver's agent? Was she following Ginny before she 'accidentally' walked into her hotel room near the beginning of the episode?

[bluemoondreams]

I love the way right at the end when the girl looks up Poirot has vanished...

[StrangerToEarth]

I thought the best pair of characters were definitely Dr Gerard and Celia Westholme. There was something gloriously, twistedly, tragically sad about them and their revenge, and even though it ended in schmaltzy melodrama, there was something of their end that tugged at me. I felt a bit surreal after this. There was something breathless in it. Water!

[malaikaswm]

I think this is now my favorite Poirot

[naix20]

The solution is a bit different from the novel, isn't it?

[feuilletoniste]

@naix20 Too true! 

[lynnfamily4]

What was the nun's deal? I never could figure it out (I seriously wish Poirot was subtitled or something, he is SO hard to understand)

[dochokeana]

@lynnfamily4 The nun was in reality an agent of the slave trader sent to find a caucasian female with red hair to be sold into slavery.

[newfypearl]

@dochokeana Now here is the question...because it was not in the original novel. Was the abduction not planned or was it the parents way of removing the daughter from the clutches of the family. The killing of her was the act of revenge. But I think the description was a direct request made by the mother who found solace among the nuns. I could be wrong...

[feuilletoniste]

@newfypearl I don't think so - Dame Celia didn't 'find solace' among the nuns, she was sent to them by force after her baby was taken from her. Which is why she refers to them as 'vultures' feeding on human suffering; she was able to escape and remake herself. (There has been a lot of studies recently on the cruel way in which many 'fallen women' such as unmarried mothers were treated by ostensibly charitable religious orders in the early 20th century).

[SuPREM3k1NG]

tres bien!

[MsValeriyaOss]

you feel really sorry for the killers as they are so wonderfully played and actually did everyone a favour but come to think of it

are they gods to decide who is to live and who is not

wasn't there another way out?

[MedicWebber]

Wow. This is the BEST Hercule Poirot movie I have ever seen. Deeper and darker than any of the others, but so beautiful and full of hope. The editing-the jumping back and forth from past to present, and the MUSIC, were wonderful. (And, of course, David Suchet was brilliant!) I'm so glad you posted this. I didn't know this movie existed.

[malaikaswm]

@MedicWebber I AGREE

[ManricoV]

Thank you for video! I love this story "Appointment wih Death", and this movie is very strong! David Suchet is great as always!Thank you!

[purpleblueviolet]

do you know when will they shoot the film of "The curtain"?

[sjmmelrose]

@purpleblueviolet it may not, ITV who make Poirot has huge money problems and Poirot is very expensive to make so they may axe it :-(

[newfypearl]

@sjmmelrose I doubt this very much. Why? Because the Christie foundation loves suchet's portrayal of Poirot.  He has less than 10 stories to film to complete the Poirot catalog. They will back suchet until the final 'Curtain' ... it is part of Agatha's legacy!

[sjmmelrose]

@newfypearl They have actually confirmed, due to the huge success of downton Abbey that Poirot has been recommissioned for a final series. They have yet to confirm how many stories, they usually confirm sooner than this as it has been over a year since they filmed the last block of 4. It had nothing to do with the Christie Foundation and everything to do with ITV's money crisis following the recession.

[librarygirl8]

@purpleblueviolet : I know they are having issues, but in all reality there is only 4 or five more books they want to shoot anyway. It would be a shame to not make them, especially since Poirot has such a following. Besides, ITV has a lot of garbage on that deserves to be axed instead of something as great as this.

[sjmmelrose]

@librarygirl8 It's been confirmed for one last series, no confirmation on how many, think they only have 5 or 6 left to film.

[feuilletoniste]

Now, didn't John Hannah and Elizabeth McGovern make a splendid pair? I'd love to see them working together elsewhere.

[newfypearl]

@feuilletoniste They were truly amazing!

Poirot seemed more understanding of the murder in Murder on the Orient Express. I feel that this old bitty had it coming to her as well. Anyone else think so?

[cidrose]

brilliant!

[RanziR]

cool story, the poor girl been so traumatised!!!

[alanth252]

A little wayward from the novel, but enjoyable nonetheless. Suchet is THE Poirot.

[ThadmanKane]

Magnifique! I had much hope to see more after my 20-disc set. Many thanks for adding this.

[pdm636]

from out here in iraq, where i have been deprived of any good Poirot (thanks to the Lady A.) ,thank you so very much for this brief escape to joy, sorrow, mystery,& justice (poetic that is)...!!!! <3

[azurixa]

Thx for the upload :).

[98slbrookes98]

Thanks - the changes in plot were quite interesting actually.

[ph1lstar]

Great viewing thanks 4 the upload. Can there be another Hercule Poirot when David Sachet hangs his hat up for good?

[vellymelly]

No way! When he finishes adapting the last few, that should be it. He IS Hercule Poirot; for 21 years. He would be very hard to replace :-)

[pdm636]

@ph1lstar perhaps one day, though i for one am not looking toward that time a'tall...

[MsErmita]

love poirot and here in the states we don't

always get them,i have bought several dvd's,but this one is new to me.

thank you.looking forward to others.

[ez2stepon]

wow that was different pretty good but strange and a little to modern I didn't know HP was so religious catholic

[johneunson]

just found this one. it was great. thank you.

[nghtangel25]

Thank you so much. Really enjoyed watching Poirot and the ensemble cast.

[robertquentincobb]

Simply "Magnifique!" 5 Stars. Please up load more! Thanks!!

[sotticote]

Even though it is all different, the story was quite good and it does not harm the character of Poirot nor the Agatha Christie spirit.

[hifftimo]

@sotticote Now I'd like to see David Suchet star in Agatha Christie's version of Appointment with Death. This is the first time I felt that a Suchet starring movie was altered beyond recognition. However, anytime David Suchet plays Hercule Poirot in such beautifully elaborate productions is well worth watching and this video is no exception.

[sjmmelrose]

Brilliant, just brilliant. Thankyou

[Marcus2058]

Despite the considerable, and startling, reworking of the story, I still enjoyed watching this. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[evesapple]

thank you for the upload!

[jayhl77]

Thx for uploading. I'm annoyed at ITV for ruining my faith in their Poirot series; this has absolutely nothing to do with the novel.

[KyriaStorm]

Thank you for uploading this episode! I really appreciate it. :)
