The Lost Mine 1989

Agatha Christie's Poirot: The Lost Mine [VHS]
    A Chinese businessman with a map showing a long lost silver mine is found dead in Chinatown.  Poirot must use his little gray cells and also the new communication system at Scotland Yard to find the map and the killer.  It is not helping matters that Poirot is overdrawn at his bank and it must be their mistake!!  Poirot and Hastings have been playing Monopoly and unfortunately, Hastings is winning!!
    It is interesting to see that Scotland Yard of 1935 has two way radios between headquarters and cars in the field.  They use a large map of the city and model cars to represent the positions of the cars.  They are able to trap a suspect in front of 3 police cars.  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)

51 min, Mys directed by Edward Bennett with David Suchet, Hugh Fraser, Philip Jackson, Pauline Moran, Anthony Bate, Colin Stinton, Barbara Barnes, James Saxon, Vincent Wong, Richard Albrecht, John Cording, Gloria Connell.

Note:  Not listed on Blockbuster, imdb 7.5 out of 10, not listed on Rotten Tomatoes.
