This is an excellent production on all levels. The story line is Christie's first draft. The second draft is the Charles Laughton 1959 version. The first draft is a better plot than the second. Leonard Vole dies by the hand of ... in version two.
But here he lives on in luxury. The plight of the defense here is very good. The connection is made between the defense and the killer. I much prefer this version.
Toby Jones versus Charles Laughton is the problem. There is no comparison. The plot here is better, but no one can top Laughton..and Marlena Dietrich.
Both versions are tops.
