Poirot - Murder on the Links

Customer Reviews:

The very best of all Poirot mysteries.......2005-01-20

This dramatization of the Murder On The Links could hardly be any better. The acting is the finest, especially by Hugh Fraser in the character of Hastings. Lots of Agatha Christie fans have rated that story as being one of the best and most touching and the TV adaptation has not let us down. Naturally, as in all Poirot adaptations, lots of details have been changed, modified or added - some things are missing, too. Yet these can't make the movie less good, as it's as though you were getting to know the story all over again. The production is crisp and the settings lavish. All in all, the best of all Poirot mysteries.

Murder on the Links.......2002-10-09

A wealthy millionaire is found stabbed in the back in a bunker on his golf course, Poirot is betting his moustaches against the second-most arrogrant and clever detective in France, and Hastings has actually fallen in love...with someone that loves him as well?

Murder on the Links is great for several reasons. First, Poirot. Here we see his annoyance at golf (a great scene is when Poirot finds out which hotel they are staying at), his compassion for his friend Hastings, his persistence (thinking through everything and hanging on as long as possible without destroying even one hair on his moustache), his brilliant reasoning (of course) and his love for matchmaking.

Hastings. He has fallen in love several times, but this time he has actually found an interesting catch. Will this love affair actually work out? And at what lengths will he go to protect her?

The mystery is quite ingenious. I remember watching this and classifying it as one of the best Poirot's I had ever seen, and definitely one of the best murder mystery movies I have ever seen. This time, Poirot has very little evidence to go on and nothing to convict the murderer. Catching the killer takes an ingenious move on his part. Some complain that you cannot determine who it is. Personally, I believe it is doable. The first time I saw this mystery, I was definitely surprised by who did it.

The acting (on all sides) is superb. The costumes and scenery are terrific. Overall "Murder on the Links" is a great Poirot mystery.

MURDER ON THE LINKS:.......2002-05-01

David Suchet is flawless in this VERY well presented Agatha Christie mystery! A real fine whodunit for the entire family. This one is extremely well directed and produced and will take you into a veritable maze of twists and turns right up to Poirot's final discovery! Order it...you'll have it in about 3 business days and you will rate it amongst the very highest of all mysteries ever filmed! On a scale of 1-10, I'd rate this a 9+ for sure!

One of the best Poirot Movies yet........2002-04-18

This is a fine example of David Suchet and Hugh Frasier at their very best. High drama and poignant, touching moments. The only thing missing is an appearance by Ms. Lemon and Inspector Japp.

This episode contains some of the best acting of the entire series. As compelling as my other favorite epsiode - The Chocolate Box.

If you like David Suchet as Poirot - get this video!
