Amazon.com Even the great Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) dreads a trip to the dentist. And in this case, with good reason: while the detective's checkup is completed without a hitch, mere hours later the dentist and two of the day's patients are found dead. Poirot's first clue is a fancy buckle that fell off a patient's shoe as she climbed out of a cab earlier that same day. Always attentive to the ladies and their fashions, Poirot senses that something is amiss well before Inspector Japp (Philip Jackson) catches on. Although the viewer is able to see the deception before Poirot works it out, One, Two, Buckle My Shoe has enough unexpected twists to keep the motive a mystery until the climactic scene in which all is revealed. What has always set the Agatha Christie's Poirot series apart from other mystery shows is the high production values, and this 103-minute episode is no exception. From the eerie, slow-motion opening sequence of two girls singing the title's nursery rhyme to the art deco set details (down to the curtains and teacups), One, Two, Buckle My Shoe is not merely a video adaptation of Christie's novel but a beautifully wrought film in its own right. The DVD's special features include biographies of Agatha Christie and David Suchet, challenging Poirot trivia, and cast filmographies. --Larisa Lomacky Moore From the Back Cover With a twinkle in his eye and a perfectly coiffed mustache, Agatha Christie's legendary Belgian sleuth has made neat work out of the most baffling of cases while amassing a legion of fans as the most-watched detective on PBS' Mystery! series and a favorite on A&E.
