Rene Clair was a master filmmaker. Critic James Agee complained that Clair opted for the humourous angle. I think it was just right. A better Sunday afternoon film was never made. The cast includes Roland young, Barry Fitzgerald, Walter Huston, Dame Judith Anderson, and C. Aubrey Smith! If that isn't enough, let me say that Richard Haydn, who played Thomas Rogers is an absolute delight. The best Agatha Christie adaptation, bar none, IMO.
