Bart, Paul and I just returned from A Haunting in Venice, a mystery based on the novel Hallowe'en Party.
Sumptuous production values in a travelogue city, sufficiently satisfying surprises and a solution to the mystery that’s the best of the three Poirot whodunits Branagh has made so far.
Tina Fey is fun as Poirot’s pal, the Agatha Christie stand-in Ariadne Oliver. And Poirot himself is more than usually tested by this one, a development that injects some atmospheric suspense into the familiar classic mystery mechanics.
Remember: “If you wake the bear, you cannot complain when he tangos.”
