The queen of detective fiction, Arcasa Christie, has written many works, and has been printed more than two billion copies in countries around the world today, second only to the Bible and Shakespeare. Her works have been made into many film and television dramas, and some have been repeatedly remade, such as "Murder on the Orient Express", not only remade, but also developed mobile games, PC games, etc., which are very profitable and popular businesses, because they are related to human wisdom, so they must make money, Akassar Christie Company, has been running these popular businesses.
Because there are many film and television works, there are many people who play Poirot, but the most famous of them are the three major actors:
Peter Ustinov, a British actor, lived from 1921 to 2004, lived for eighty-three years, his origin is quite legendary, his ancestors were Russian nobles, to the generation of his grandfather Plato Ustinov, Plato because of his physical fear of cold, so he moved to Palestine in the Ottoman Empire, where the Mediterranean coast, the climate is warm and humid, conducive to his health.
In 1875, Plato renounced Russian Orthodoxy, converted to Protestantism, naturalized the Kingdom of Württemberg of the German Empire, and became a citizen of the Kingdom of Württemberg, but remained expatriate in Palestine of the Ottoman Empire, where he married, and his new wife was Jewish.
Plato operated a high-class hotel in Palestine, and in 1898 the hotel hosted The German Emperor Wehrham II visiting the Ottoman Empire.
Plato's eldest son, Klopp, fought in World War I as a soldier in the Kingdom of Württemberg. After the war, Klopp became a press officer at the German Embassy in Britain, married in 1920, and soon gave birth to Peter Ustinov.
In 1933, the Nazi Party came to power in Germany, Klopp's mother was Jewish, so he was jewish, so he lost his position, he became a British citizen with hatred for the Nazis, and, working for MI5, he waged a struggle against Nazi Germany.
This was the case with The Paternal Line of Peter Ustinov, whose mother's family was a family of French actors who fled after the French Revolution and eventually emigrated to England.
Thus, Peter Ustinov, whose grandfather was Russian, whose grandmother was Jewish of Swiss and Ethiopian blood, and whose mother was of French and Italian descent, spoke six languages. In general, Peter Ustinov was of Russian descent and had no British blood. He died in Switzerland.

Peter Ustinov on the mixed race is the Russian-American actor Yule Bryner, who lived to be sixty-six years old from 1920 to 1985, born in Vladivostok, his grandfather was Swiss, who emigrated to Vladivostok, Russia, to do import and export trade, and his grandmother was of Russian and Buryat Mongol blood. His father was a mining engineer and his mother was a Jew of Russian descent. After the mother divorced her father, she moved to Harbin with her brother and sister, and after the September 18 incident, her mother immigrated to France with her brother and sister and moved to Paris.
Yule Brenner worked in the circus for five years. After the outbreak of World War II, France was occupied by Germany, as Jews, the mother took them back to Harbin, where there was no opposition to the Jews, but also not a place to stay for a long time, after hard work, the mother took them, won a visa to immigrate to the United States, from Harbin, through Kobe, Japan, where boarded a ship, crossed the Pacific, and arrived in San Francisco, California, on October 25, 1940.
Yule Brenner, who is of Swiss, Russian, Jewish and Mongolian origin, speaks Russian, French, English and Chinese, first appeared on Broadway, then became a Hollywood superstar, and died in the United States in 1985.

Back to Peter Ustinov, he has starred in six films by Detective Poirot, three of which have been translated and introduced by Chinese mainland, including: "Massacre on the Nile" (1978, translated by Shangyi Factory), "Evil under the Sun" (1982, translated by Shangyi Factory), "Record of Human Nature" (1985, translated by CCTV), "Lost in the Old House" (1986), "Tragedy in Three Acts" (1986), "Death Date" (1988).
Poirot, played by Ustinov, is like a big cat, lazy, warm, full of pleasure in life, but he is very sharp and shrewd when handling cases.

Interestingly, in 1985's Record of Human Nature, David Sucht, who was only in his thirties at the time, played Chief Inspector Jepp.

Albert Feeney, a British actor who lived from 1936 to 2019, lived to be eighty-two years old, and he became famous for playing the famous detective Poirot in the 1974 British film Murder on the Orient Express. Poirot, played by Feni, is a middle-aged man, a bit like a soldier, he is sometimes a little rough, even a little violent, but in fact very humane, the atmosphere is relaxed, in the process of figuring out the Murder of the Orient Express, he has figured out how to justify the "jury" of the execution of the justice sentence.
Fini's version of Poirot
In this film, the details are particularly elaborate, and one of the details is that Poirot asks Colonel Abbasnot, one of the Twelve Righteous Men, if he knows the late Colonel Armstrong, because they are both British colonels in British India, and Abbasnot tells Poirot very clearly that they do not know each other, that they belong to different British troops. Historically, the British army in British India consisted of two major systems, one was the white troops born in India, that is, the troops of the East India Company, and the other was the white troops from Britain, and the two British armies were different. This point, in other versions of the film, has been ignored, simply saying that they do not know, belonging to different units, and not saying the names of the two British troops.

David Sücht, a British actor born in 1946, is seventy-four years old, a Jew whose ancestors came from Poland-Lithuania, via Prussia, and eventually immigrated to The United Kingdom. From 1989 to 2013, twenty-five years ago, a quarter of a century, ITV Television, which competed with BBC television in the United Kingdom, invested heavily in the filming of all of Arcasa Christie's works on Poirot's case into television movies, that is, hardcover TV series filmed according to the method of filmmaking, named "Poirot the Great Detective", a total of thirteen seasons and seventy episodes. The protagonist, Poirot, is played by David Suchet.
David Suchet's version of Poirot
David Suchte began playing Poirot at the age of forty-three, and by the time he was done, he was sixty-seven years old.
David Sucht played Poirot, because it took a long time, of course, it is very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, this large series of voluminous TV movies, filmed quite exquisitely, from the plot, to the set, costumes, furniture, etc., is very hard work, but "The Massacre on the Nile", "Evil in the Sun", "Murder on the Orient Express" These three, have been made movies, so there is a comparison, and the conclusion is that the TV series is not as good as the movie. As the saying goes, not afraid of not knowing the goods, afraid of the goods, a comparison is out, the movie is a first-class actor, Oscar winners abound, such as the movie version of "Murder on the Orient Express", which has a superstar such as Ingrid Bergman, and the TV series, is a second-rate actor; and then to the background, furniture, etc., although the TV series is exquisite, but compared with the movie, it is obviously not as good, the movie is luxurious, the cast is luxurious, the hotel is also luxurious, about this, the more obvious is "Sin in the Sun", Compared to the hotels in the movie, the TV series is almost like it was filmed in a guest house.

As far as "Murder on the Orient Express" is concerned, in terms of plot, Poirot, played by David Sucht, appears too harsh, and after he clarifies the case, he seems to be very vicious, and he can say a little scolding to the twelve righteous men, accusing them of not doing anything, until the end, reluctantly deciding to let them go, making those righteous men pitiful and fearful to wait in his rebuke, begging for his forgiveness, which is the failure of the TV drama version.
