Hercule Poirot: Jewel Robbery at the Grand Metropolitan 1993


Product Details      Poirot has gone to stay at the Metropolitan Hotel in the seaside resort of Brighton.  His doctor has ordered him to go for a rest.  Unfortunately, Hercule is immediately and frequently mistaken for Lucky Len.  Lucky gives out money on behalf of a newspaper to people who recognize him.  How is Hercule going to get any peace or rest with everyone asking him for money?  There is a play being performed at the Grand Metropolitan Hotel where Hercule is staying with Captain Hastings.  The play features a very valuable and old pearl necklace that is stolen in the script for the play. Will Hercule take the case when the necklace is really stolen?
     This is good, Hercule never does what he’s supposed to just like Captain Hastings doesn’t “get” any clues and Inspector Japp always arrests the wrong person.  4* (I really liked this movie) 

51 min, Mystery directed by Ken Grieve with David Suchet, Phillip Jackson, Hugh Fraser, Pauline Moran, Trevor Cooper, Sorcha Cusack, Karl Johnson, Elizabeth Rider, Simon Shepherd, Hermione Norris.

Note:  Blockbuster 4 ½*, imdb 7.5 out of 10, not listed on Rotten Tomatoes.
