The Agatha Christie Hour is a collection of ten hour-long dramas based on short stories by the most popular novelist in history. Some were romances, some had supernatural themes and a couple were adventures. The common link was that all came from the talented pen of Agatha Christie, all were entertaining and each drama was carefully crafted and well cast with many of Britain's best known actors of the time represented.

"The Case of the Middle-Aged Wife" (1932) features a very pleasant encounter with Parker Pyne and Miss Lemon outside Hercule Poirot's office. "In a Glass Darkly" (1934) gives a glimpse into Agatha's lesser-known work - melancholic, mysterious, and influenced by the trauma of war. "The Girl in the Train" (1924) is sweet fun with mystery, a train, and youthful humor. "The Fourth Man" (1925) tells a rather interesting mystery from the past about cruelty. "The Case of the Discontented Soldier" (1932) is another excellent case handled by the Parker Pyne Agency and his brilliant secretary Miss Lemon. It’s a really cute idea with the agency. "The Mystery of the Blue Jar" (1924) has a nice golf atmosphere. "Jane in Search of a Job" (1924) surprises me with a girlish double spiciness, just the way I like it. "The Red Signal" (1924) is a weaker mystery. "Magnolia Blossom" (1926) is a love affair with a crime plot. "The Manhood of Edward Robinson" (1924) is one of Agatha's cutest ideas on how to get a non-whipped counterpart to an uptight fiancée. All you need to do is get inspired at the movie theater, win the lottery, and have a sample adventure and the gloom of constant saving and boredom is there.
