Hercule Poirot: Series 1: The Adventure of Johnnie Waverly 1989


Product Details     The Waverly family has been receiving letters warning them that their young son Johnnie will be kidnapped.  It will take place at noon the next day unless 50,000 pounds is paid before that time.  Mr. Waverly hires Hercule but Inspector Japp claims he doesn’t have the manpower to work on a crime that hasn’t taken place.  Hercule and Captain Hastings travel to the Waverly estate and they are happy to learn that Inspector Japp has changed his mind about the case.
     One of the first Poirot mysteries that I was sure I had the case solved before the crime was committed.  Turned out I was correct too!  See if you can do the same?  4* (I really liked this movie)

51 min, Mystery directed by Renny Rye with David Suchet, Hugh Fraser, Philip Jackson, Pauline Moran, Geoffrey Bateman, Julia Chambers, Dominic Rougier.

Note:  Imdb 6.8 out of 10.
