Sorry about later notice, but we have chosen this film, A Haunting in Venice, very carefully by waiting till it was seen by a member. His conclusion? – He found it extremely enjoyable and lots of fun. Who could resist Kenneth Branagh playing Inspector Poirot in a brain teaser gloriously filmed in Venice?
