剧情介绍
本集根据克里斯蒂作品改编,原著是以波洛为主角的十二个案件组成的短篇小说集,编剧盖·安德鲁斯从中提取部分案情元素并合而为一进行了再创作。故事讲述安东尼酒店发生杀人夺宝惨剧,露辛达小姐被害,脖子上价值连城的珠宝被夺走,传言这是大盗马拉舍所为,波洛虽然在场却无能为力,因而深感自责。三个月后,一位年轻司机委托波洛寻找自己失踪的恋人女佣妮塔,波洛得知妮塔的主人正在雪山上的奥利巴斯酒店度假,决定前往一探究竟。巧合的是,马拉舍也藏匿在这家酒店……
In an attempt to snare the enigmatic art thief Marrascaud, Poirot and the Metropolitan Police set an irresistible trap: at the society debut of wealthy aristocrat Lucinda Le Mesurier, a priceless painting called 'Hercules Vanquishing the Hydra' by Marrascaud's favorite artist will be displayed, with Lucinda wearing exquisite diamond jewelery. A confident Poirot is convinced the criminal will be apprehended, but he does not foresee the eventual, disastrous outcome: not only does Marrascaud pinch the painting, but Lucinda herself is brutally murdered, and her jewels are stolen as well. The catastrophe weights heavily on Poirot's conscience, and he sinks into a steady depression, despite the entreaties of his physician, Dr Burton. Three months after Lucinda's murder, a lonely chauffeur asks Poirot to find his true love, the maid of celebrated Russian ballerina Katrina Samoushenka. Pitying the man, Poirot agrees to reunite the lovers pro bono and sets off to the Hotel Olympos in Rochers Neiges, Switzerland, where Katrina is supposedly staying. Run by the hearty (yet corrupt) Italian Francesco, the hotel is world-famous for its Alpine spa treatments, and much to Poirot's surprise, it is also Marrascaud's current hideout. But what identity has the villain taken? Among the guests, Poirot not only finds the bedridden Katrina, but also her imperious Austrian psychotherapist Dr Lutz, M.P. Harold Waring, who has shouldered the blame for an illicit scandal involving his superior, bossy Mrs Rice and her daughter Elsie Clayton, whose abusive husband is also staying at the hotel, parlor-game enthusiast Schwartz, and the only woman who has ever stirred his heart: former jewel thief Countess Vera Rossakoff, whose criminologist daughter Alice Cunningham is also present, along with her unsightly pet bulldog, Binky. A motley crew, indeed, and just as impenetrable. When an avalanche strands the guests, it becomes even more imperative to find Marrascaud. But several distractions prevent Poirot from facing his nemesis. Why is Katrina being deliberately evasive about the fate of her maid? Why does Dr Lutz have such a powerful hold on her? Why does Elsie's husband always dine in his room? What is Countess Rossakoff doing in Switzerland, and has she really given up her life of thievery? Why is Schwartz so hard to read? What happened to the old servant, Robert, and why is his replacement so inexperienced? Who tried to frighten Alice? As more and more questions pile up, less and less time remains as Poirot strives towards redemption for his past mistakes. But will he succeed in battling his inner demons as Hercules succeeded in conquering his twelve Labours, or will Marrascaud be the first criminal to prevail against the Belgian detective?
耐着性子看完
#Alfie。是案件大乱炖。
这次的红鲱鱼都很好辨认:不存在的女佣、不存在的丈夫、不存在的面具袭击者、不存在的雪夜出逃。然而就像上次女伯爵出现时让人不适一样,这回带着女儿一起也只能更加不适,最后竟然还拿“our love”来试图软化波洛......
3.6
改编的挺好,还和女伯爵初恋重见了。虽然such a waste.
凶手很好猜。其实这一个故事蛮好,但是还是那句,年轻演员真的不行。除了波洛、老相好和警察,其他人都演的好烂。Orla Brady还是很美,然而她女儿也算是那么多英剧里最不好看的“美女“了之一了。
姐妹花骗子、女仆其实是芭蕾演员等设计还是嵌套了挺多内容的。
古典。
标准的暴风雪山庄模式,结尾非常让人唏嘘,波洛成全了别人的爱情,却为正义错过了自己的,格外孤独的背影,而下一集就是最后的告别了…
完美完美完美“改”编!“我们的爱足以倾城,不过是一场空。”😬
把原著的12个短篇其中几个揉成一个长篇,本片的编剧牛皮!另外,无辜的人死去,也是本案的亮点之一。
冷血恶毒让人齿冷的罪犯,被捕还恶狠狠地向老爹约战寻衅
这集真的很优秀,电影质感,编剧从12个短篇里挑了几篇融合进同一个故事里,还安排了波洛与旧爱彻底的be,波洛说出“He's just Poirot.”时的表情和伯爵夫人那句“such a waste”真的心痛。。想起伦敦生活里也是这样,唉唉唉。。。
许多故事揉成一集,波洛真的好看!
我严重怀疑女主是波洛女儿
