David Suchet : being Poirot

David Suchet Being Poirot

DVD - 2014

After 25 years playing one of television's most beloved characters, David Suchet explores why fans have always gravitated towards the great Hercule Poirot. Suchet shares his experience of portraying the iconic detective as camera crews follow his preparations and join him on set for the final, emotional days of filming. He also returns to Agatha Christie's summer home in Devon--where he met the author's family after first being cast as Poirot--and visits Belgium to explore Poirot's roots and learn what Belgians think about one of their most famous fictional sons. Hosted by Stanley Tucci, this is a must-see documentary for all Poirot fans.

Review by Library Journal Review

More than 27 years ago, David Suchet was chosen to portray Agatha Christie's classic sleuth in a new series based on the best--selling mystery author's novels and stories. Once viewers saw Suchet as the Belgian detective, there was never any doubt that no one else could ever play the part. Now, after starring in all of the adaptations of the Poirot works, Suchet looks back at the years he invested in playing Poirot as he completes the final Poirot movie. Hosted by Stanley Tucci, this sterling documentary investigates Poirot's appeal over the last century as Suchet visits Christie's home in Devon; chats with Christopher Gunning, the composer who created the award-winning theme music for the series; and travels to Belgium to see what residents think of their native sleuth. -Verdict Both insightful and entertaining, this stylishly produced documentary is a must-have for fans of the Emmy-nominated series as well as anyone interested in learning more about Christie and her work.-John Charles, formerly with Scottsdale P.L., AZ © Copyright 2016.
