Thanks for the review. I have to agree about Estella. Even now, (still) reading the book, it seemed she should've been dazzling, but she was just so-so in the movie.

Thanks also for the GA interview in Parade. Hadn't seen that. Though, wow, they're still using that old photo? It's not like she's a zillion years old now and looks awful. (Since I believe she's just a few months younger than I am!)

Imagine me shouting "Yes! Yes!" to everything you said in your review because that's what I'm doing :P

The hand thing was AWFUL! I could barely stand it.

Skinny Poirot was pretty awesome. I haven't seen David Suchet in very many things besides Poirot but this is the first time I've really seen him shed the classic Poirot behavior.
