His version of "Murder On The Orient Express" was great.

David Suchet IS Poirot, IMO, but I'm willing to watch another interpretation and keep an open mind.

We just watched the 1973 version of Orient Express the other day. that's how far behind we are. Apparently Agatha Christie herself attended the premiere. She liked Finney as Poirot but thought his moustache "ridiculously undersized"

It was very good too.

Death on the Nile is his second venture as the famous detective.
