Miss Lemon has a beau, 18 August 2015
Miss Lemon's new beau, Mr. Graves, is secretary to Count Foscatini. He is concerned about some missing papers and believes his employer is being blackmailed for these papers. When the Count is found murdered, suspicion immediately falls on the mysterious blackmailer. And Poirot is on the case.
The Adventure of the Italian Nobleman is truly one of the better Poirot episodes. There's really a lot to like here. The mystery is very engaging. The solution is as clever as any in the entire Poirot series. The mirror clue is especially nice. Acting, as always, is first- rate. It's nice to see the four regulars in an episode after several in a row where one or more was missing. Pauline Moran does a great job showing Miss Lemon's restrained joy over her relationship with Mr. Graves. The supporting cast is very strong. David Neal and Anna Mazzotti were highlights for me. There's a bit of comedy in the episode that works as intended. The car chase scene at first seemed a little out of place, but it's well done. Finally, The Adventure of the Italian Nobleman looks fantastic. The cars, the locations, and the costuming are all perfect.
I've really got nothing negative to say. A well deserved 8/10 (probably should be 9/10) from me.
