The Agatha Christie Hour, Set 1


This set of five Agatha Christie stories, originally seen on PBS’s Mystery, give viewers a look at one of the author’s lesser known characters, Parker Pryne (Maurice Denham), a man who doesn’t solve crimes so much as help people solve issues in their lives to make them happier. It’s a nice twist. The set also features three classic Christie tales, including the delightful The Girl in the Train, the story of a rich, spoiled young man who is always complaining that there is no real adventure in his life. What happens to him when he takes an impromptu trip makes him regret his words.
