Although Hagen undoubtedly had ambitions for this film to be a more prestigious production, with a larger budget, the similarities to the studio's more routine output led most cinemas to show it as a second feature. While the two earlier films are now lost, this production still survives.ĭuring Julius Hagen's tenure at Twickenham, the studios had specialised in production of murder mysteries as quota quickies. Like them, it was filmed at Twickenham Film Studios. Trevor reprised his role as Hercule Poirot for a third time, having previously played him in Alibi and Black Coffee, both released in 1931. The film was based on the 1933 Agatha Christie novel Lord Edgware Dies.
