I love Peter Ustinov but NOT as Poirot. He looks more like Santa Claus without the suit. OMG if I had to hear Mia Farrow whine one more second I'd tear my hair out. Agatha Christie wrote Poirot as the central character of her books and her words were so descriptive we knew him well. Ustinov wants to play him as a stooge who only gets smart in the end. Poirot is murdered in this who-done-it, by too many well-known faded actors who chew up the scenery and spit Poirot out. Want Poirot as Christie wrote him? Check out David Suchet.
