poirot dumb witness | Year: 1996 Classification: Television Directed: - Edward Bennett Suchet shines as Poirot An elderly lady collapses and dies after green smoke is seen pouring out of her body. Earlier that week, she almost tumbles to her death on the stairs. The only witness to that earlier attempt is a fox terrier named Bob. What follows is another delightful PBS and A & E Agatha Christie adaptation in which Hercule Poirot must solve another strange murder. As always, David Suchet is the definitive Poirot, combining humor and humanity in his performance. Hugh Fraser is solid as his befuddled sidekick, Capt. Hasting, and the dog in the title role has loads of cuteness to spare. A must for any Agatha Christie or murder mystery fan. Highly recommended. The Dumb Witness leaves you speechless! What a piece of art! A true treat to the eyes and the mind. The sets, acting, effects, all this and more, score a 101 out of 100!<BR>The story in a nutshell: Old Ms. Arundell's younger relations are after her money. She, a lady with a strong will, lets not a penny go and can see beyond the facade of caring that her relations are putting up. Soon, she suffers in an 'accident', as everyone called it- an 'accident' which occured due to tripping over Bob, the dumb witness' ball. Yes, you guessed it, soon she's dead. Poirot starts his hunt, aday approach to the film, <I>Jaws 2</I> manages to be both stylistically flat and openly cynical about its commercial intentions. Of chief interest here is Scheider's performance, which wisely reflects the emotional fallout from Brody's last trauma in his obsessive behavior here. <I>--Tom Keogh</I> Buy Poirot Dumb Witness at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
