In this film, actor Austin Trevor reprises his role of Hercule Poirot for the third time, this time in an adaptation of Christie’s novel Lord Edgeware Dies. Trevor also played Poirot in the 1931 films Alibi and Black Coffee, but as those two movies are now pretty much impossible to find anywhere, if you want to see Trevor’s Poirot, Lord Edgeware Diesis the movie for you. This movie is a more comedic take on the novel as well, which some people seemed to have enjoyed, but the comedy in this film never really landed with me. Most notably, Christie’s popular amateur detective Miss Marple is replaced with Tommy and Tuppence. Le Crime Est Notre Affaire, or Crime is Our Business, is a French adaptation of Christie’s 4.50 to Paddington, but with some major changes.
