Rating:  - This Movie Sucks!!! (But Amanda Pays Is Beautiful!!!)
Allow me to outline the plot of this movie for you. This rich English guy gets murdered. His ex wife has a double who can impersonate her. His ex wife has the alibi that she was at a dinner party at the time of the murder. Now if you haven't figured out "whodunnit" by now I strongly suggest you don't join Mensa and should maybe consider going back to High School to finish your education. Peter Ustinov is his usual hammy Detective Hercule Poirot but thankfully Amanda Pays is in this movie which is ... Read More
Rating:  - Ustinov Captures Poirot Against the Odds
Although many fellow Christie fans would argue that David Suchet is the definitive Poirot, I beg to disagree. To my mind, few have captured Poirot's spirit and Christie's humorous intentions as well as Peter Ustinov. While being completely contrary to the physical description of Poirot, Ustinov suggests all of Poirot's characteristics from the fastidious vanity, the wicked humor, the inquisitive and observational eye, the "egg shape" and the chaste appreciation of women. He brings out the lightness ... Read More
Rating:  - Peter Ustinov returns as "Poirot".
Peter Ustinov returns for the third time as Belguim Detective, Hercule Poirot, since his portrail in DEATH ON THE NILE (1978) and EVIL UNDER THE SUN (1982). Thirteen At Dinner is a 1985 tv-movie. The cast includes Faye Dunaway and Lee Horsley (Matt Houston tv series). Poirot is interviewed by talk show host David Frost, who has just interviewed Lee Horsley as "Brian". A surprise on the talk show is Horsley's co-star Jane Wilkenson (played by Faye Dunaway). But after a few dramatic lines, we find out ... Read More
Rating: - 'Thirteen At Dinner' will make you rush for dinner!
Horrible! Completely and utterly horrible! Horribly horrible!!
Why did they make this movie? For passing time? Wouldn't they rather have read a book, or gone jogging?
-->The negative aspects:
1. A cabbage placed in place of each actor, would have acted more impressively!
2. The sound recording makes you wonder why silent films are catching on again!
3. The dullness and dreariness are very genuine!
4. The music (meant to be eerie and have a mysterious air) really makes one scream...for ... Read More
Rating: - Poor actors, bad script from bad choice of book to dramatise
This dramatisation is based on Agatha Christie's book "Lord Edgeware Dies" where the murder suspect is obvious but the evidence and alibis etc puts her in the clear and casts suspicions on other characters.
Readers would have immediately jumped to the conclusion that if actress Jane Wilkinson was seen to have entered the study of her husband Lord Edgeware the night he was murdered, at the same time she was supposed to be miles away attending a dinner party of 13, then her look-alike Charlotta must have been ...
