The final reveal is more shocking as a result. * BitchInSheepsClothing: The murderer, Jane Wilkinson, in this adaptation she initially comes across as a more sympathetic person than her counterpart from the original novel, whose selfishness is much more overt. * BigNo: Japp shouts out 'Nooooo!!!' after Alton the Butler falls to his death trying to attack him in a botched up ChaseScene.

* AssholeVictim: InUniverse, Carlotta's ShowWithinAShow parody includes Poirot going to investigate the murder of Hitler. * AdolfHitlarious: In-universe - Carlotta Adams's Hitler impersonation is considered very amusing by her audience. * AdaptationDyeJob: Genevieve 'Jenny' Driver is mostly recognisable, in the book, from her distinctive red hair. The character's appearance is rather unremarkable in the adaptation, and nothing is mentioned about his looks. * AdaptationalUgliness: When visiting the titular character's mansion in the novel, Hastings gives a lengthy monologue about how handsome the butler (Alton) is, describing the latter as an Adonis. But all this is revealed to be an act after she is exposed as the killer, and her deliberate gloating of her final speech comes across as meaner-spirited than the childish amorality she exhibited in her final letter to Poirot in the original book. In this adaptation, she is initially portrayed as a sympathetic victim who is forced to silently endure her husband's cruelty, and her asking for Poirot's help comes across more like a desperate plea than a callous demand. ** Subverted with Jane Wilkinson, who in the book is described as a blatantly selfish individual who shamelessly brags about wanting to kill her husband so that she can marry another man, and refuses to take the hint when Poirot tries to refuse her commission to 'get rid' of her husband. In this adaptation he is a friendly NiceGuy who expresses appreciation for Poirot's help, and ultimately gives him a substantial monetary reward in gratitude for saving him from unknowingly marrying a murderess.
