Death in The Clouds - Film, TV or Theatrical Adaptations

Film, TV or Theatrical Adaptations

An adaptation for television starring David Suchet was broadcast in 1992 as part of the series Agatha Christie's Poirot. The screenplay followed the book closely with some minor changes and some characters omitted: in the adaptation there was only one archeologist, there was no doctor, Jane was a stewardess and in the end Poirot does not match Jane with young archeologist as mentioned in the novel and some other minor changes (such as in the TV adaptation, Poirot takes Japp to Paris, whereas in the book he takes the French Surete detective and also in the book most of the characters have come from Le Pinet where they have been enjoying some time at the casino, whereas in the adaptation the characters have been at a tennis match in Paris.)
