Cards on the Table 1989

Cards on the Table Poster    A group of people are invited to a party hosted by one of London's wealthiest men, Mr. Shaitana.  No one in the group knows very much about Mr. Shaitana but they are interested in the party because there will be two separate games of cards.  Before the night has ended, Mr. Shaitana will be discovered dead in his chair and not asleep as they thought.  The party group consists of four detectives and four possible murders or are there eight possible murderers?
    Everyone is questioned thoroughly by the police and also Hercule Poirot.  Monsieur Poirot has his own methods which includes the purchase of 19 pairs of very fine and expensive silk stockings?  This is good, of course you are going to try to solve the case but are there missing clues, hints not provided, backgrounds not included?  It's still worth a try!!  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)

120 min, Mys directed by Sarah Harding with David Suchet, James Alper, Philip Bowen, Cordelia Bugeja, Zigi Ellison, Tristan Gemmill.

Note:  Not listed on Blockbuster, imdb 7.4 out of 10, not listed on Rotten Tomatoes.
