Re-viewed Murder in Mesopotamia, another of my favorites from the Agatha Christie: Poirot series. Archaeology is tempting but will always remain a road not taken, because I would rather be the collector sitting at home for the artifacts to arrive. This episode has a stunning setting. It also has an antique, cylinder seal, anonymous letters with quaint penmanship, arabesque window screens, mosaic wall tiles, and tapestries, antique, German, colored glass like what we have on our front balcony divider, exquisite tea services, mother-of-pearl inlaid trunks, a horsetail fly whisk, a forged, gold ox-head drinking cup, another of Poirot's portable silver ashtrays, and Middle East music that I always find magical. The best scenes, though, are the simplest ones shot in Middle East mid-morning and mid-afternoon sunshine, which is is just so fabulous and are great lighting feats. Alas, such places are no longer tourist destinations.
