In spite of an appealing title (tragic dolmen ), this is a trite whodunit , which involves a curse (beware of the dolmen , death awaits on you all) , secret documents , kleptomania ,a medium and a mysterious murder with a gun full of nitroglycerine near the Celtic remnant; in the castle ,everybody's a suspect for the cop who investigates as a so-called squire 's friend .The whodunit is the screenwriter's wish but it's Agatha Christie 's reality .
The plot is a muddled affair,with too many characters ,none of whom particularly interesting (with the exception of the always reliable Paulette Dubost), and too many subplots (thefts, an air force lieutenant about to marry a divorcee , a vicious uncle, a naive servant,you name it... )
When the two-bit Poirot reveals the truth ,nobody cares anymore.
