Good night, Cubao!

Re-viewed The Big Four, again more enjoyable to me on DVD than on paper. An omnibus--Hastings, Japp, Miss Lemon, and Georges are in it. Poirot's copper and ivory Art Deco chess set, a chinoisserie collection by a sinophile, a candlelit dinner, a variety of murders, and a cut-out cardboard theater. So theatrical that the mystery indeed ends inside a real theater. A good screenplay and good direction magnificently united a flamboyant story with disjointed scenes.
