Assassinato Num Dia de Sol
Flewitt (uncredited)
Quem poderia ter estrangulado a famosa estrela da Broadway, enquanto ela despreocupadamente descansava nas areias de uma praia localizada em exclusiva ilha no Mediterrâneo? Conhecendo-se Agatha Christie, a resposta só pode ser... Todos!! Esta é a quarta, e provavelmente a melhor, produção de Brabourne/Goodwin, que começou com "Assassinato no Expresso Oriente" (1974), baseada em história da Rainha do Crime. Hercule Poirot tem, então, mais um caso a resolver. Um excelente elenco participa deste filme, James Mason e Sylvia Miles, como dois produtores da Broadway que a vítima humilharia, Roddy McDowall como um colunista social que vê em uma biografia da explosiva artista a sua tímida e ciumenta esposa. Além, é claro , de Peter Ustinov como o grande Hercule Poirot. A música de Cole Porter completa o pedigree deste filme que não só é um excelente filme de suspense como também um bom exemplo de como manter o clima de mistério sem apelar para a violência excessiva.
