HERCULE POIROT: RENDEZVOUS WITH DEATH

Everybody's favorite Belgian detective (and his little gray cells) take center stage in this radio play from July 12, 1945.  Starring as Hercule Poirot is Harold Huber, a prolific radio and film character actor, perhaps best known for his role of Nunnheim in 1934's The Thin Man, as well as his several supporting roles in a number of Charlie Chan and Mr. Moto movies.  Poirot was not the only household name Huber played on radio; he also play the insidious Dr. Fu Manchu for one season (1932-3) on CBS Radio.

The Hercule Poirot radio series was not based on any of Dame Agatha's writing, borrowing only her character.  Christie however, seemed to approve of the series, and taped a brief introduction to be used on the first show of the series.
