Rating:  - The problem isn't that it's not Christie, but that it isn't very well done. Still, there's Leslie Phillips and Michael Byrne
"The names...you'll take them to the police?" The dying woman gives the priest a list of names on a slip of paper. Not long after, Mark Easterbrook (Colin Buchanan) runs down a dark alley to assist a man being beaten. The assailant disappears. As the man dies he hands the list of names to Mark. Yes, the man is the priest. Hmmm.

Rating:  - I am perplexed
I am perplexed by the poor reviews some of the other viewers have given this movie. I thought it was great fun. There was not too much blood or gore. It can be viewed by the whole family. Also, there were no indecent scenes. It was just a fun mystery that is so typical of Christie. I can honestly say it is a film I will enjoy over and over.
Rating: - Christie fans won't like it -- others might

Rating: - Are we at war with England?
If we can rise above the transatlantic sniping, dispense with ad hominem finger-wagging over whose sense of syntax is lacking (on this site I've read as many contortions of the Queen's English from overseas as I have from the heartland), and put aside whether or not this version of 'The Pale Horse' ought to be called a movie, a television mystery-drama or Prince Albert in a can, I believe a crosscultural consensus can be reached.
Anyone who has read the book will agree that this interpretation ... Read More
Rating:  - Agatha Christies Pale Horse
One of the rare Christie stories that does not contain any of her 3 famous protagonists (Marple, Poirot, Tommy & Tuppence). However it is one of her most interesting tales. Well acted, it keeps you guessing all the way. An excellent translation of the original. A must for Christie fans.
