Query: Can't imagine a worse Poirot

I was totally repulsed by Albert Finney in the role of Poirot. He had absolutely none of the characteristics of Christie's Poirot...none. Did the director ever read a Christie? Finney brought no dignity to the role at all. All I could think of during the movie was how inappropriate the casting of Poirot was. I even began to dread every appearence of Finney!!About the rest of the movie: So many good actors...so little direction. Too much earnestness brought into the role resulted in quite a bit of over-acting. Particularly from Wendy Hiller (Princess Dratwhatshername and from one of my favorite actresses Ingrid Bergmann. Even Sean could do with better direction.I stuck with the movie because it was a Christie. A waste of 2 good hours.
