Agatha Christie is the queen of crime, but even those of literary royal blood must admit that there is a period of time in their career that just doesn’t align itself to any other; and the longer the reign, the more likely it is to be at the final curtain that the illumination starts to fade; literature aping real life as the spell can be, hopefully not broken, but perhaps witnessed for what it is; a last hurrah of a genius mind.

There are times when you do have to wonder if some film makers actually know the difference between a good film with a plot that doesn’t tax the brain too much and that where they make a film just purely for the credit or the financial gain that might come their way, the plot as weak as a watered down soup from a vending machine in a bus terminus, the acting as interesting as mould growing in a Petri dish and all the action of a night in the morgue, where the only excitement is seeing just how badly the film runs towards its bitter and thankful conclusion.
