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

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.

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

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

oh i see, you mean for the context of time it wouldn't work? i forgot about that having any bearing on the film itself. good observation

Good point. Mr. Owen's speech at the end of the Russian version is, if you'll pardon the pun, deadly.
