[Filmin] First in a series of three tv movies starring Agatha Christie, the film works better as a portrait of the character, with elements drawn from her personal life, than as a criminal investigation. In this sense, it is a predictable and uninteresting story, which wants but cannot imitate the novels of the English writer. Agatha Christie is in crisis because all her readers already know how to predict who the murderer is. Screenwriter Tom Dalton can't get the story to avoid this predictability.
