Three Trips to Agatha Christie-Land: ‘Agatha Christie’s Poirot: The Movie Collection Set 6’
Seldom has an actor become as closely identified with a role as David Suchet has become with Hercule Poirot: Suchet's characterization of Poirot is so complete that it's hard to imagine anyone else playing the role.
