Petros L.Lists of adaptations of the works of Agatha Christie:įirst foreign Christie film adaptation names changed from the novel.

Rudy Valentino Grant as Businessman Pass Byer (uncredited).

Ricky Gabbriellini As Journalist (uncredited).

Terence Stamp as Chief Inspector Taverner.

As in the original, the cause of death was by injection of eserine.

Taverner is not as enthusiastic as in the book about Charles's involvement as in the book but he can see the advantages. In this adaptation, Commissioner Hayward does not appear but is recalled with respect by Chief Inspector Taverner whom Charles goes to see. Charles is relucctant to take the case as he thinks it is 'unethicall' (probably because of his feelings) but he agrees when Sophia says that she is afraid because she believes the killer is in her household. Their relationship here is strained as they had broken off in the past, after meeting in Egypt. There is no talk of marriage unlike the book. Sophia visits Charles at his office to ask him to invesitgate her grandfather's death. In this adaptation, Charles Hayward has left the diplomatic service and has set up as a private detective. The action of the film follows the original fairly closely.
