Résumés(1)
Poirot journeys on the renowned Blue Train to the French Riviera alongside a fascinating mixture of characters including the beautiful daughter of American oil magnate Rufus Van Aldin and the charming Katherine, newly wealthy thanks to an unexpected inheritance. The body of a brutally murdered woman is discovered just as the train reaches its destination, and Poirot must investigate the past to reveal the killer. (iTunes)

This episode simply didn't sit well with me. It's also in how much focus there is on the details of the faces. It just bothered me quite a bit, as well as the whole story, which for me only became interesting essentially at the very end, when Poirot invited everyone to his place again. Here it has its proper twists.

Although Agatha considered "The Mystery of the Blue Train" (1928) to be her weakest novel, she was apparently the only one who thought so. She had only begun developing herself professionally, in this case developing the short story "The Plymouth Express" (1923). In the TV version with Suchet's Poirot, it's a delight and a treat. The damsel in distress is played by the sexy Jaime Murray, and all the characters around her also have the proper spark. Especially the successful family, where you are not sure who is the mother and who is the daughter. Poirot himself flutters around the sweet little lady and gives out smiles on cue. It's a scandal.
