	DVD Review - Poirot: The ABC Murders (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Although Police is never convinced of the authenticity of the letter, Poirot is keenly aware of the threat it poses and as indicated, a murder occurs on the exact day in the foretold city of England.
		Despite his efforts however, Poirot is unable to determine a motive that would allow him to solve the case and helplessly, he and his associate Captain Hastings (Hugh Frasier) have to idly watch in horror as more murders occur and the anonymous writer begins to make fun of Poirot’s inability to solve the mystery.
		"Poirot: The ABC Murders" is presented in a fullframe presentation on this disc.

	Hercule Poirot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Poirot is extremely punctual and carries a turnip pocket watch almost to the end of his career.
		Poirot was apparently born in Spa, Belgium and, based on the conjecture that he was thirty at the time of his retirement from the Belgian police force at the time of the outbreak of the First World War, it is suggested that he was born in the mid 1880s.
		Poirot is less active during the cases that take place at the end of his career.

	POIROT INVESTIGATES summary
		All the Poirot trademarks are here, his incredible vanity, his desire for neatness and order, the brilliance of his 'little grey cells'.
		Once Poirot echoes Holmes when he says "You know my methods by now, use them." "The Veiled Lady" takes its title from Doyle's "The Veiled Lodger", its opening from "A Scandal in Bohemia", and its plot is a very interesting twist on "Charles Augustus Milverton".
		Christie is beginning to declare her independence from Doyle's influence, however, as evidenced by Poirot's disdainful recitation of Holmes' methods for examining crime scenes.

	MYSTERY!: The Detectives: Hercule Poirot
		Indeed he is. One can assume Poirot (David Suchet) was on to Curtiss (John McEnery) before the man even knew he was matching wits with the legendary Belgian detective.
		Poirot soon reveals Curtiss to be the vicious culprit who deftly plunged a keen-edged blade through a tiny peephole in a trunk, penetrating the brain of the man hiding within and killing him instantly.
		A quick solution to a puzzling murder mystery is standard operating procdure for Poirot -- and so is his facile sense of humor.

		As ever, the revelation relies on Poirot pulling a fast one on the reader/viewer: he has some knowledge which has been witheld from us and which enables him to make a deductive leap.
		Poirot's investigation takes place in a muted mid-WW2 London, all murky grey-browns and locked cameras, whilst the flashback sequences are soft-focus, brightly lit, moving cameras and impossibly pretty.

	Hercule Poirot
		Poirot has many characteristics which have made him a legend all over the world - the odd moustache, the egg-shaped face and his high opinion of himself.
		Poirot is probably Agatha Christie's best-known character - and he has of course often appeared in films, portrayed by various actors.
		Many fans of Poirot do though agree that David Suchet (from the Poirot TV series) is most likely the actor who has succeeded best in portraying the famous detective.

	Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot: Detective Magnifique!
		Poirot relies mainly on the clever usage of his "little grey cells" and psychological examination of the suspects, even with the smallest clue, to solve the most baffling crimes (instead of the usual methods so many of his fellow detectives rely on).
		Much to the chagrin of Inspector Japp, Poirot is always out-thinking his colleagues, managing to solve the Inspector's cases for him.
		In appearance, Poirot is an exotic little figure - his unmistakable look - complete with luuxuriant (and suspiciously fl) "moustaches", shining green eyes, and a curious egg-shaped head carried a little to one side.

		Poirot was played by Austin Trevor as a tall handsome detective (no mustache!)--the most complete opposite in appearance from Agatha Christie's creation.
		The current actor portraying Hercule Poirot is the English actor David Suchet, with many agreeing his portrayal of the Belgian detective as the definitive one.
		For the Poirot episodes, the stories are Peril at End House, The ABC Murders, "The Kidnapped Prime Minister", "The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb", "The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding", "The Adventure of the Cheap Flat", "The Jewel Robbery at the Grand Metropolitan", and "The Plymouth Express".

	DVD Verdict Review - Agatha Christie's Poirot: The New Mysteries Collection
		Poirot takes a house in the country, where he becomes a witness to the complicated—and ultimately deadly—goings-on at The Hollow, the residence of Sir Henry and Lady Lucy Angkatell.
		Poirot feels that Elinor is the likely culprit, but Dr. Peter Lord (Paul McGann, Queen of the Damned) has a soft spot for her and persuades Poirot to look beyond the obvious motives.
		The Hollow is the only one of the four to have a somewhat weak screenplay; it damages Poirot's credibility by making him draw some faulty conclusions and preoccupy himself with a character who is clearly a red herring, and he is never held accountable for his errors of judgment.

		Poirot gets mixed up in the feud somehow and, of course, soon has a murder to investigate.
		Crime writer Ariadne Oliver is a wonderful foil for Poirot, working on intuition rather than logic and moving through life with an air of joyous disorganization that contrasts sharply to the overly ordered Poirot.
		Poirot is more of a showman, sometimes giving one the impression that he solves the murders as much for his ego as for an interest in justice.

		Trapezo Mantilo is a quartet of Italian jazzers who have taken as their mantle the shape and nomenclature of two very disparate sources: the chamber set up of Jimmy Giuffre and the harmonics of Ornette Coleman from his pre-harmolodic period (and some of those too).
		Offering an impressionistic melodic framework by Mauro Negri's clarinet, the tune quickly becomes a Gershwin-esque exercise in chromatic interplay before slipping into an accented arpeggio idiomatic of the blues.
		Nothing on Poirot is less than mysterious or compelling; everything on the album calls us to wonder about our own presuppositions regarding jazz and avant-garde music and why the genres exist in the first place.
