Customer Reviews of Poirot - Dumb Witness
Suchet shines as Poirot An elderly lady collapses and dies after green smoke is seen pouring out of her body. Earlier that week, she almost tumbles to her death on the stairs. The only witness to that earlier attempt is a fox terrier named Bob. What follows is another delightful PBS and A & E Agatha Christie adaptation in which Hercule Poirot must solve another strange murder. As always, David Suchet is the definitive Poirot, combining humor and humanity in his performance. Hugh Fraser is solid as his befuddled sidekick, Capt. Hasting, and the dog in the title role has loads of cuteness to spare. A must for any Agatha Christie or murder mystery fan. Highly recommended.
The Dumb Witness leaves you speechless!
What a piece of art! A true treat to the eyes and the mind. The sets, acting, effects, all this and more, score a 101 out of 100!
The story in a nutshell: Old Ms. Arundell's younger relations are after her money. She, a lady with a strong will, lets not a penny go and can see beyond the facade of caring that her relations are putting up. Soon, she suffers in an 'accident', as everyone called it- an 'accident' which occured due to tripping over Bob, the dumb witness' ball. Yes, you guessed it, soon she's dead. Poirot starts his hunt, with Hastings andf Bob, the fox terrier on his side (Bob, too, outwits Hastings at times!). Soon, as Poirot said in the movie, 'the fox is caught, and the terror put on him' (well, atleast he said something like this!).
Now for the movie itself: Littlegreen house has been shown very aptly. The supernatural aspect of the story (of the seance and the green smoke) has been displayed brilliantly. The plot has been acted out clearly. Bob, though not instantly attractive, is sure to win your heart gradually. Poirot's conversations with Bob, and the deductions he draws from his actions, are very pleasing to watch.
What can one say about David Suchet as Poirot? He is, as most have already said, 'the Best Poirot EVER'!! In fact, one can even say that David Suchet IS Hercule Poirot! Superb in every way, Suchet is an absolute pleasure to watch.
Hughes Fraser was perfect as Hastings, as usual!
Altogether, Dumb Witness surpasses all expectations!
Au revoir!
A very enjoyable movie! Poirot at his best!
My very favorite Poirot episode! The only other one that comes close is "The ABC Murders". David Suchet is at his best.
Poirot is again joined by Captain Hastings, as well as "Bob" the fox terrier on this case. The relationship between Poirot and Bob is delightful!
After viewing this movie, I am sad that I now have the entire avaialable Poirot (David Suchet) DVD collection.
