Mr. Fanservice | |
Evil Under the Sun / int_1b4e322c | comment |
Mr. Fanservice: Nicholas Clay as Patrick Redfern. Only two or three of the male characters strip down to a bathing suit, despite everyone being guests on an island resort with several beaches. However, while all the other bathing suits seen are period-typical one-pieces (which look like a tank top attached to a pair of short-shorts), Patrick Redfern swaggers around in a pair of tiny (for the day) briefs (which can't entirely cover his ass) and nothing else. This may even be a bit of subtle Foreshadowing: Patrick's casual display of his good looks is a hint that instead of being "that poor, stupid man" falling for the charms of maneater Arlena, it's actually the other way around; he's a lethal Casanova who is an expert at using his good looks to seduce women. | |

The Alibi | |
Evil Under the Sun / int_1b4ea159 | comment |
The Alibi: In this adaptation, Odell Gardner seems rather proud of being the only guest without an alibi, having been reading quietly outside. However, unbeknownst to him, he does have one after all since he was seen through the window by Daphne Castle. The killers, meanwhile, created a fraudulent and seemingly unshakable two-handed alibi involving Clock Discrepancy. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
Evil Under the Sun / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Linda lies in order to deny Rex Brewster his alibi because she wants to see him go down for murder so he can't publish his book about Arlena, and only admits the truth when her father questions her. Granted, she's still a child (younger than in the book) and her acting out is somewhat understandable, since she has been on the receiving end of a higher level of sustained psychological abuse from Arlena than her novel counterpart was. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
Evil Under the Sun / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: Mrs Castle, originally nothing more than the rather strict hotel owner, is given the name Daphne and combined with the character of Rosamund, becoming Kenneth's love interest and Poirot's main assistant during the investigation. She also helps him trap the killer at the end by taking his signature. Sir Horace Blatt is generally more likeable in this version, and is not a dope smuggler but simply a millionaire who had an affair with Arlena. A minor one for Christine, who does not try to convince Linda to commit suicide in this version (an act which definitely pushed her over the Moral Event Horizon in the novel.) She's still an active accomplice to multiple murders, though. | |

Two Dun It: One of Christie's favorite tropes, and this is a classic example with Patrick and Christine. Is theirs a broken marriage, with Patrick openly flaunting his infidelity in Christine's face? No, they are partners in crime who conspired to murder Arlena. | |

Spanner in the Works: From the killer's point of view, Poirot is the first obvious example, but another significant one is Rex Brewster whose presence in Gull Bay at noon ultimately destroys Christine's false alibi, and who furthermore witnesses the dumping of the bottle of sun-tan lotion into the sea. | |

Evil Under the Sun / int_603f1a80 | comment |
Pragmatic Adaptation: Took assorted liberties with the plot, such as giving all the suspects alibis (to cover up the fact that in the original novel, only the murderers had one), beefing up the character of the hotel owner, making the American tourists theater producers (and turning the husband into a Brit played by James Mason), and changing the dowdy spinster into a gay man played by Roddy McDowall. | |

Just One Little Mistake: Drawn out. It seems that the killers will get away - complete with a grand exit and a final taunt - when Poirot suddenly reveals that Patrick made several mistakes: paying his hotel bill with a signed cheque, giving linguistic clues to his alter-ego's identity, and conspicuously having his pipe in his mouth without smoking it. | |

Evil Under the Sun / int_7431b974 | comment |
Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: This trope comes into play somewhat as a result of the story being given Lighter and Softer treatment, while the main villain, Patrick Redfern, remains the same cold-blooded serial seducer and killer of naïve women that he was in the novel. For her part, at least Christine's attempts to drive Linda to suicide are omitted. | |

Louis Cypher: Patrick tells Poirot that as a music teacher, he enjoys telling his students that Guiseppe Verdi's name in English is a pedestrian Joe Green. It's a mistake, because Hercule notes that Patrick's last name, Redfern, in Latin is "Felix Ruber", a suspect in a murder case involving Ruber's wife, making him realize Patrick's name is a pseudonym. | |

Informed Flaw: Shrinking Violet Christine claims she has serious vertigo and can't even go down steps without feeling a little dizzy. That contradicts how she could possibly wave to Linda in the bay, when doing so would have forced her to stand at the very edge of a cliff a hundred feet high at the very least. It gives Poirot dizziness to replicate it. | |

"Eureka!"

In the original novel, Poirot makes this discovery about Christine not suffering from vertigo during a group outing for a picnic instead. | |

Distinguished Gentleman's Pipe: Subverted. One of the murder suspects, Patrick Redfern, is seen with a pipe throughout the film, but it's only at the end that Poirot realizes he's never actually been seen smoking it. The reason: he's hidden a stolen diamond in the bowl. | |
