Poirot
and Hastings attend an auction, Poirot wants to bid on a mirror for his
foyer. Another man purchases the
mirror with a higher bid much to the chagrin of Hercule. As they are leaving, the buyer Gervais
Chevenix, asks Poirot to come to his country house. He believes he is being defrauded by a business
associate. At first, Poirot’s
feathers are very ruffled but he decides to take up the offer of the mirror for
investigating the charges.
Chevenix’s
wife Vanda is very “strange.” She
believes she is receiving messages from a long dead Egyptian woman and she
wears a necklace once owned by this woman. Some of the background music is very strange, like séance
music. 4* (I really liked this
movie)
