Third film in the Branagh/Christie franchise. “The enigmatic Mr. Shaitana has invited eight guests to an unusual evening of dinner and bridge. Four of the guests are noted solvers of crimes–the detective Hercule Poirot, Superintendent Battle of Scotland Yard, Col. Race of the Secret Service, and the mystery novelist Ariadne Oliver. The other four guests are, according to Shaitana, men and women who have gotten away with murder. After dinner, the guests adjorn to separate rooms for several hands of bridge. At the evening's end, Mr. Shaitana is found dead in his chair by the fire. It is clear that one of the four supposed murderers did him in–but which one? And what dark secrets are the others hiding?” - Arutha
