A thoroughly modernized and poorly received [[Television film|made-for-TV]] version starring [[Alfred Molina]] as Poirot was presented by CBS in 2001. This version co-starred [[Meredith Baxter]] as Mrs Hubbard and [[Leslie Caron]] as Señora Alvarado (based on Princess Dragomiroff, and portrayed as the widow of a South American dictator). Poirot is portrayed as significantly younger and less eccentric than Christie's detective, and is given a subplot involving a romantic relationship with Vera Rosakoff, who is loosely based on an infrequently recurring character of the same name. The story is updated to a contemporary setting, and four of the suspects (Hildegarde Schmidt, Cyrus Hardman, Edward Masterman and Greta Ohlsson) are deleted, as is Dr Constantine.<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0279250/combined IMDb profile], imdb.com; accessed 31 January 2015.</ref>
