This time we're going back to the very time in which Agatha herself was busy creating Poirot's fabulous adventures. That's right, in 1934 - just a year after its publication - Lord Edgware Dies was turned into a feature film with Austin Trevor as the little Belgian.  So what was the screen's take on Hercule like back in the day?
