Je n'aime pas dans les vieux films américains quand les conducteurs ne regardent pas la route. Et de ratage en ratage, on s'habitue à ne jamais dépasser le stade du brouillon. La vie n'est que l'interminable répétition d'une représentation qui n'aura jamais lieu.

Agatha Christie's Great Detectives Poirot & Marple: Soridaijin no Shisso (Kohen) Shinjitsu wa Igirisu

This second part wraps up the anime adaptation of The Kidnapped Prime Minister and I think this episode isn’t quite as a good as the first one in this duo, just because the first one is at least pretty weird.  The first one at least had some goofy hijinks revolving around the ocean liner and Poirot’s seasickness and such.  This one’s just pretty dull.  Not a great original story from Christie; not a very good adaptation.  2 ½ stars.

tl;dr – part 2 is a bit lesser than part 1, if only because it’s less silly.  2 ½ stars.
