Well, the screenplay is faithful, even if it's quite tough and aggressively modern, but the directing is absolutely horrid!The camera floats around and give me seasickness (or ,perhaps,trainsickness) even when the convulse characters are with the feet solidly on the land.Even Suchet is hysterical,and I miss longingly his usual aplomb.The actors have no time to act because the director cuts any dialog after the first two lines.And the Tamplins are more annoying that amusing, as they are intended to be.You end the movie with the impression to having been assaulted by some train thugs, who have stolen to you the pleasure of the deep insight of human psychology very present in the last four episodes.Alas, what a pity!Not a disaster, but not certainly the best Christie TV movie.And someone is criticizing the quiet little Marples....
