Christie was the queen of crime on the page, but here we discover why that wasn鈥檛 always the case on the big screen. Using a selection of 麻豆社 interviews and archive material, we piece together a tale of creative highs and lows, featuring Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple and many of the all-star acting heavyweights who helped turn some of the films into box office gold, proving in their own way that in the cinema, crime does pay.
