In 1928 Agatha goes to Iraq to 'research romance'. I know, it doesn't sound like a very likely premise, and Q agreed the sex and bad language was somehow not appropriate. That couple that keep having sex noisily - I don't know how that's supposed to work, really. The writer is Tom Dalton.
Lyndsey Marshal, who we may recognise from Garrow's Law and TV's Titanic and Rome is the sleuthing writer who has affair with that Mr Jonah Hauer-King again. Jack Deam we recognised, and it turns out it was from Shameless. Some other people are in it, too, including Stanley Meadows, who's after oil all along - should have guessed that, really. Lyndsey aside, the acting's none too convincing throughout.
It was filmed in Malta. The film was not made with the approval or endorsement of the Agatha Christie estate. The bit of truth to it is she did meet the younger Max Mallowan in Iraq (actually in 1930) and they were happily married until her death.
