One of Christie's later 1965 novels, adapted by Tom MacRae, provides an ingenious tale set in a London Hotel (possibly Browns in origin) involving murder, robberies, inheritance and Nazis, with Martine McCutcheon as a sharp and useful maid to assist Geraldine McEwan. And, like the best of the series, features a budding romance between maid and investigating detective Stephen Mangan.
With Mark Heap, Vincent Regan, Emily Beecham, Charles Kay, Ed Stoppard, Nicholas Burns (the twins), Francesca Annis, Peter Davison, Polly Walker, Mica Paris, and an outrageous turn from Danny Webb as a hat designer.
Nicely shot by the appropriately named Cinders Forshaw.
