Customer Reviews of The Alphabet Murders
For specialized tastes only This movie was intended for only the British audience. It assumes that the viewer knows about the details of the highly stratified British social customs in the early post war period. So much of the information necessary for the plot is contained in such subtle details as someone wearing a bowler hat or the upper class person offering a middle class person sherry and then leaving the room.
Unless you recognize the significance of these things the people seem to be doing strange random things and the entertainment value of the story is removed.
Tony Randall a Good Actor Was Badly Miscast Here!
Tony Randall as Hercule Poirot? You've got to be kidding? I liked Tony Randall in movies like Pillow Talk and he was great as Felix Unger in the Odd Couple TV show but he is no Poirot and he is definitely no David Suchet who all Poirot's will forever be measured, and after him Peter Ustinov and Albert Finney! Tony is just badly miscast as Poirot he's too tall, too skinny, etc, I also want to point out that Tony Randall is not the terrible actor the other reviewers are suggesting he is but he was just not right for tthe roll of Porot! Even though I'm not sure if he would have made a good Poirot they should have cast Robert Morley as Poirot and Tony Randall as Hastings and maybe it would have made a little more sense!
Icky-pooh
If you only LOOK at the cover for this video, you can tell that the lead is no Peter Ustinov, the yardstick by which all Poirot actors are measured:
Death on the Nile (1978) ASIN: 6302990114
Evil Under the Sun (1982) ASIN: 6302990130
Thirteen at Dinner (1985) ASIN: 079074130X
Appointment With Death (1988) ASIN: 0790741318
You will get a headache or some sort of ache watching this. Save your money and save your time. Don't watch this adaptation-watch Ustinov instead!
