Review of Murder in Three Acts

I love the novel "Three Act Tragedy" because it is one of the most intriguing, dynamic and vivid books of the 1930s, and the final solution is simply brilliant. This film adaptation is unusual in that, unlike David Suchet's version, it uses the original version of the novel. I mean, you won't see Charles Cartwright's love story for You here, no. Everything is different here. But this adaptation is good, because when I watched it for the first time, I was shocked, because I had already read the novel (the well-known version) and watched the movie with David Suchet. Tony Curtis plays Charles pretty well, although of course Martin Shaw's game is much more powerful and stronger. The main advantage of this film, in my opinion, is the atmosphere. It's just great, especially in the final. All in all, a great film adaptation of a great book, although I prefer the version with Suchet. 10/10
