this movie be an abomination and and it making should have be consider a capital crime . one of the great mystery of film making be why nobody ever have make a faithful movie adaptation of this wonderful mystery . it be a tale of a really gripping mystery and nice old fashion romance and and dry english humor . why do the maker have to change richard gordon from a scotland yard policeman to an amateur detective and introduce the idiotic role and caricature of his english servant and change the part of the main storyline about the murder charge and circumstance of gordon struggle to save the accused and etc . and etc . these producer and director who always think they can make a good story than the one in the book should write the original script themselves and not to rape another person product .
