Line 47:
* ''Curtain'' (1975).
* [[Affectionate Parody]] / [[Deconstruction]]: "The Veiled Lady" is a literary [[Shot for Shot Remake]] of the [[Sherlock Holmes]] story "The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton", but with an extra [[Twist Ending]].
* [[Always Murder]]
* [[Always Someone Better]]: subverted, since of course there is no one better than Hercule Poirot. Not even his brother Achille. {{spoiler|Who doesn't exist.}}
* [[Badass Moustache]]: Agatha Christie liked the 1974 adaptation of [[Murder on the Orient Express]], and had but a single complaint: [[Albert Finney]]'s mustache wasn't magnificent enough!
* [[Big Screwed-Up Family]]: The Boyntons in ''Appointment with Death''.
* [[Brain Fever]]: in ''Murder on the Links.'' Interestingly, in ''The Big Four'', a doctor dismisses brain fever as an invention of writers.
