You may know the ‘solution’ to this famous Agatha Christie mystery, but Lumet’s virtuoso filmmaking will quickly pull you under its macabre yet cosy spell. Finney’s mesmerising Poirot dominates at the centre of an ensemble of legendary stars, each of whom makes a memorable contribution. It’s one of the few Christie adaptations prepared to accommodate the darkness often lurking in her vision.
