Not entirely accurate, since it takes the ending from the stage play. It's West End fluff.

the exposition would have been pretty long,
Good point. Mr. Owen's speech at the end of the Russian version is, if you'll pardon the pun, deadly.

the exposition would have been pretty long, and a downbeat ending would have killed the film at the box office in the mid Forties.

The book's ending works well on the page, but not really for a movie. I like both, especially since Christie had written both.

Even so, the only ending of this story which I accept is the novel's ending.
The ending of this film is nothing but a cop-out ending IMHO.
