When I use to watch the classic TV series Charlie's Angels I was always fascinated whenever the show showed a glimpse into their private life, in particular where they lived.
The Poirot series did well in its choices for Poirot's apartment. We heard in Mrs McGinty's Dead a comment about Poirot living in a modernist apartment and this apartment is highly fashionable on every account. The wood paneling on the lounge matches the wooden paneling on door. There are so many lovely small details in the room that one can look for ages to soak it all in. lucky there are a number of scenes throughout his apartment so that you get to see different rooms.
Of the actors in this film Jemima Roper is the one that I instantly recognised. Jemima Roper played George in one of The Famous Five TV adaptations. She also is the star of "Lost in Austen" the story of a girl who accidentally falls into the world of Pride and Prejudice and into the place for Mr Darcy's affections. In this Poirot film she pays "The Third Girl." She does a good job in this film as the girl who is confused and feels she is going crazy and confesses to a crime she didn't commit.
Would definitely watch this one again if only to view more of Poirot's apartment.
