I could just imagine Salvador Dali as Mr. Shaitana - the whole thing was so cinematically written! The dialogues weren't as engaging as her previous Poirot novels, though, and I honestly thought Shaitana had killed himself. It would've been so interesting to see him develop as a character, rather than just being such an entertaining figure being killed off at the outset.
