Lucy Angkatell invited Hercule Poirot to lunch. To tease the great detective, her guests stage a mock murder beside the swimming pool. Unfortunately, the victim plays the scene for real. In the confusion, a gun sinks to the bottom of the pool. It seems everyone in the drama is a suspect — and each a victim of love. Suddenly, with Poirot: The Hollow terrific shock, with that feeling as of blurring on a cinematograph screen before the picture comes to focus, Hercule Poirot realised that this artificially set scene had a point of reality. First published as a novel in the US in by Dodd, Mead and Company, The Hollow remains an example of classic Christie: a gathering of guests at a country house is disturbed by a sudden death and luckily Poirot is in attendance. The main players include a downtrodden wife, her successful husband, and the reappearance of an old Poirot: The Hollow. It was originally published in the US as Murder after Hours. So the play was adapted, Poirot ousted, and it was produced in under the same title, The Hollow. It was adapted for TV in and starred David Suchet. Some changes were made to the Poirot: The Hollow, but overall it remained fairly true to the novel. Skip to main navigation Skip to content. Home Stories The Hollow. The Hollow Buy.

Christie said she ruined her own book by involving Poirot, but I think the opposite: she ruined it by NOT involving him. He barely appears, does nothing of any significance and doesn't even get to solve the murder Gerda and Henrietta explain it, and there's loads he hasn't even guessed! And it's a murder that feels incidental to the soap opera of the Angkatells. The adaptation at least addresses these issues by making both Poirot and the murder more central, but it's still one of those murders where the person you thought was responsible all along really was responsible, and there's absolutely no surprise to the solution. It is, however, a particularly good cast. Sarah Miles in particular is exactly the Lucy from the book. It seems an odd omission that the episode doesn't begin with John and Veronica twelve Poirot: The Hollow ago as in John's reverie from the bookand similarly that it doesn't include the early clue about Gerda letting people think she's stupider than she is which appears at both the beginning and the end of the book but only at the end of the episode. But the early search of Gerda's leatherwork bag is an improvement on something that appears out of nowhere at the end of the book. Poirot: The Hollow Hollow to me has always been a visual delight. The book with its wonderful description of The Hollow and Poirot: The Hollow did I spell that correct? The movie has equally stunning visuals and the bgm is poignant to Poirot: The Hollow point of being heart-rending. It can hardly be called a mystery, but simply for the deep aura of autumn melancholy this movie and book remains one of my favourites. Sceneries, the music, the tempo, actors, all beautiful. A surprising goof: when Dr Christow is parking his car in front of Henrietta'a home, we can see a modern grey Mercedes right at the end of the street. They forgot to have it removed for a story set in the 30's or 40's. Well, I loved the episode for the drama and the emotions expressed, but as a mystery, I guess it had a few loopholes. The most perplexing of whichfor me, is why was the murder weapon hidden in the head of the horse? And why was there a head of the horse in the first place, when Henrietta hated horses and dogs? If she hurriedly built a model, then why a horse's head? To Poirot: The Hollow a hint to Poirot, maybe? Was Henrietta so guilt-ridden that she wanted the murder to be solved? Henrietta made the horse specifically to hide the gun. Poirot explains Poirot: The Hollow she chose the horse over doing another sculpture because she disliked what she was Poirot: The Hollow, and disliked horses. I have always found this episode extremely boring. I guess drama is here, but nothing really happens, except for murder. And not one character has normal "live" atmosphere around them. They all look like they are either in clouds Henrietta, Edward or crazy Veronica, Lucy. I only wish gerda would of Poirot: The Hollow both lady angkatell and henrietta as well annoying self involved bitches No wonder so many british men are gay. I Poirot: The Hollow that there are certain things in this story that doesn't add up. The horses head for example. If Henrietta doesn't like horses then why make a sculpture of one in the first place? Unless it's got something Poirot: The Hollow do with Troy like in the book. And why are everyone so willing to cover up for Gerda's sake? Secondly I'm wondering if I was the only one who noticed the "Henrietta is in love with Gerda and not John" undertones in this adaption? Why else would Henrietta want to cover up for Gerda? In a way it makes sense. Everytime she's with John she just seems to be rolling her eyes at him,she frequently says no to getting married to both John and Edward because she's simply not interested in men, her studio is filled with naked claywomen plus one of Poirot: The Hollow who apparantly modeled for her in secret. Everything makes so much more sense in this adaption if this is was what they wanted us to see. Including Henriettas affair with John in the first place. John is the only and best way for her to be near Poirot: The Hollow. Well, that's my interpretation, does it make Poirot: The Hollow sense? And I'm talking about the tv version now, not the book :. Poirot explains that she made the horse because she didn't like it! The only reason she Poirot: The Hollow the sculpture was to hide the gun inside, and couldn't bring herself to create a sculpture of something she liked, so chose a horse. I don't think Henrietta was in love with Gerda, she was certainly in love with John why so many people wanted to be with him beats mebut I think Poirot: The Hollow really resented him at the same time because Poirot: The Hollow was married and she was fond of Gerda, and it was her fondness for Gerda I think that prevented her from properly admitting her feelings. I think it was her romantic love for John and platonic love and also maybe guilt for Gerda that made her cover it up. Henrietta was so in love with Poirot: The Hollow that she loved everything he took for granted. He wanted no divorce although his wife exasperated him and Henrietta compromised with it. He asked for her help when he was diying and Henrietta did everything in her power to help Gerda. This book is about psycology and guilt. John was aa exceptionable man, a very good doctor who loved and cared about his patients although he was an egoist with his relations. It is probably my favourite of dark Poirots. One criticism, Edward Fox is miscast imo. His look and posture suit better roles of lords or other authority figures rather than servants. He is too dominating, thus not believable.

Title: The Hollow 26 Sep Leaving immediately after dinner, he returns the next day to find that a weekend guest, John Christo, has been shot dead. There is any number of suspects: his former lover, Veronica Cray whom he had not seen for 12 years but suddenly turned up at a nearby cottage; his wife, Gerda who was deeply hurt by his womanizing; his current mistress Henrietta Savernake; Midge Hardcastle, who was very much in love with him, but whom he constantly ignored; and Edward Angkatell, who was in love with Midge. What Poirot finds however is that the evidence equally implicates everyone just a little too equally for it all to be just by chance. Written by garykmcd.
