An explorer returning from an Antarctic trip discovers that an acquaintance has been two years in prison for murder, and he might have saved him.
I'm a big Agatha Christie fan but don't think her novels transfer too well to the screen. This could have been worse, some scenes and the style, I didn't particularly like and yet the mood and music fitted quite nicely. The cast seemed to be going through the motions somewhat, but the story was strong enough to hold my interest. Donald Sutherland, so often madly quirky played this as straight as I've ever seen him play anything. 7/10
