First of all, Albert Finney gives a remarkable performance as Poirot : he looks exactly like the character described by Agatha Christie, so similar to what I had in mind ! I found him so much closer to the character than David Suchet, who turns it into a gay-like idiot with a very bad belgian accent.
The rest of the cast (with enough big names!) works pretty well, I loved Lauren Bacall as a drama queen lady. Anthony Perkins plays with no problem the troubled, nervous secretary and John Gielgud is superb as the dignified waiter with his dead-pan humour. As for Jean-Pierre Cassel he is equally convincing.
I admire the way this movie was adapted from such a book, given the theatrical aspect of the plot and their characters. It is a challenge to take an Agatha Christie story and make it successful on screen. This film lives up to my expectations, though you cannot beat the book as often the case !
