Maggie smith agatha christie5/30/2023 “I will end you, Daphne.” “Not if I end you first, dahling!” Poirot has to root out the culprit amongst a sea of people intent on burying the skeleton in the sand. Naturally, when Arlena is murdered whilst sunbathing, the suspect list is rather long. In addition to these escapades, Arlena is also carrying on an extremely obvious affair with the slick gigolo type, Patrick Redfern (played by Nicholas Clay), much to the chagrin of Kenneth, and Patrick’s mousey wife, Christine (played by Jane Birkin). It seems that the famous stage actress, Arlena Marshall (played by Diana Rigg), has run off with Blatt’s incredibly valuable jewel, and is going to Daphne’s island with her new husband, Kenneth (Denis Quiley), the man she left Blatt for. These include Poirot (of course), who is investigating the attempted insurance fraud perpetrated by the rather “common” Sir Horace Blatt (played by Colin Blakely). Dust jacket illustration of the first UK release of the novel in 1941 which sold for 7/6.Ī veritable cast of characters come together on the very exclusive resort island, run by Daphne Castle (played by Maggie Smith).
