''The Passing of Mr. Quin'' is a 1928 British mystery film which was co-directed by Leslie S. Hiscott and Julius Hagen, starring Clifford Heatherley, Mary Brough and Ursula Jeans. The film was based on the short story ''The Coming of Mr. Quin'', part of the collection ''The Mysterious Mr. Quin'', which was written by Agatha Christie. It was the first British film to be made of one of Christie's works. The short story was adapted by Hiscott, who would in 1931 direct ''Alibi'', the first film to feature Christie's more well known Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. The film was made at Twickenham Studios in London. ==Partial cast== *Stewart Rome as Dr. Alec Portal *Trilby Clark as Mrs. Eleanor Appleby *Ursula Jeans as Vera, the Maid *Clifford Heatherley as Prof. Appleby *Mary Brough as Cook *Vivian Baron as Derek Cappel *Kate Gurney as Landlady The screenplay was novelised by G Roy McRae for issue in 1929. The plot deviates radically from Christie's short story (for example, whereas Christie's Mr Quin is a romantic fantasy figure who solves the mystery of Professor Appleby's suicide, Mr Quin is here portrayed as Appleby's alcoholic murderer. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Passing of Mr. Quin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
