VHS Movie Reviews of Poirot - Evil Under the Sun [VHS]
Movie Review: This health resort isn't so healthy after all...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is probably my favorite movie from the David Suchet Poirot series. Amazingly acted with a great mystery and beautiful surroundings, "Evil Under the Sun" has all the great features of the regular TV show.
After eating out at a restaurant, Poirot collapses, which is attributed to him being very overweight. So, Poirot, along with Captain Hastings, takes a trip to a health resort called Sandy Cove. But even here, Poirot cannot escape from murder for murder is everywhere under the sun-especially where Poirot is concerned.
The film is different from the book, but I think most of the changes make this film better. Unlike the book, Captain Hastings accompanies Poirot to the resort. Chief Inspector Japp also shows up when the murder is announced. Also, Linda Marshall is replaced with Lionel Marshall who only plays a small part in this mystery drama.
I highly recommend this film. The setting, partially filmed on Burgh Island, is perfect and the mystery is very intriguing. If you love Poirot, don't miss this one!
Summary of Poirot - Evil Under the Sun [VHS]
A murder anticipated, but not avoided. An island full of suspects. A case for Hercule Poirot. After collapsing during dinner, Poirot is ordered to the resort island of Sandy Cove for a two-week recuperative stay. Subjected to a taxing (and decidedly undignified) regimen of diet and exercise, he is distracted from his plight by growing suspicions that death awaits one of his fellow guests. Poirot's fears are confirmed when the body of Arlena Stewart is discovered on the beach-but who killed her? This brand-new, feature-length film from producer Brian Eastman (Traffik, Jeeves & Wooster) stars Tony Award nominee David Suchet in his trademark role as Agatha Christie's beloved Belgian sleuth.Murder at a health resort makes for a very special kind of fun in the sun in this classic Agatha Christie mystery. Evil Under the Sun finds Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) and the ever-ready Captain Hastings (Hugh Fraser) at an island resort for the betterment of the great detective's constitution. Poirot's own health is soon the last thing on his mind as he becomes convinced that murder is afoot. Lucky for us, he's right. A glamorous actress, a brooding priest, and an assortment of helpful busybodies mix in one of Christie's most famous plots. As is usual in the A&E Poirot series, loving attention to period detail, a careful respect for the original novel, and a gentle wink at the quaintness of it all are apparent. Suchet is, as always, a masterful Poirot, full of infuriating quirks and playful genius, and Fraser handles the difficult job of playing the bland-but-not-too-bland Hastings with aplomb. Special DVD features include an index of all the Hercule Poirot stories, as well as biographies of Agatha Christie and David Suchet. --Ali Davis
