An appointment with death poirot7/8/2023 ![]() ![]() Impassioned archaeologist Lord Greville Boynton, accompanied by his universally despised wealthy second wife Lady Boynton, is in zealous pursuit of a major artifact in Syria. :) That said, here's the film summary from the PBS website: However, in this case, I'm able to pretty much enjoy the film version "as is," despite the fact that I think Christie's story is much better than this reworked version. Following the recent trend of completely rewriting - and in many cases butchering - Christie's original stories, Appointment deviates substantially from the original novel. Not only is it packed with a first-rate cast, but the novel is one of my favorites, and the setting is FABULOUS. I really looked forward to the latest adaptation of Appointment with Death on Masterpiece Mystery. She had such a gift for bringing the land, people, and history, dripping with mysterious possibilities, to vibrant, colorful life in her books. Agatha Christie's Middle Eastern-set mysteries have always ranked among my favorites of her work. ![]()
