Hereβs a comprehensive description of Hercule Poirot as Agatha Christie wrote him β with precise references to the novels , and comparisons to key screen portrayals (Finney , Suchet , Ustinov , Branagh , etc.). --- π Hercule Poirot β Literary Description (with Source Quotes) --- π§ββοΈ 1. Physical Appearance πΉ βA little man with an egg-shaped headβ β The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (1926) Short stature Plump and compact build Head described as egg-shaped , often tilted slightly to one side > π₯ Closest portrayals: πΈ David Suchet β nails the βlittle manβ shape and tilting head πΈ Finney β correct manner but taller πΈ Branagh β too tall and lean πΈ Ustinov β too broad and casual in posture --- π₯Έ 2. Moustache πΉ βThe finest moustache in all England β and perhaps in all Europe.β β Death in the Clouds (1935) Immense , curled , waxed , perfectly symmetrical Poirot is extremely vain about it Wears a moustache net at night > βHe had a moustache guard to keep it neat in his sleep.β β The Mysterious Affair at Styles (1920) > π₯ Closest portrayals: πΈ David Suchet β accurate size and grooming πΈ Kenneth Branagh β large but overly stylized (double-layered) πΈ Peter Ustinov β too understated πΈ Finney β neat , but not extravagant enough --- π 3. Dress & Grooming πΉ βAlways immaculate. His clothes were faultless. His boots shone.β β The Mystery of the Blue Train (1928) Fussy and obsessive about cleanliness Well-tailored suits , gloves , polished shoes Takes pride in his appearance , symmetry , and neatness > π₯ Closest portrayals: πΈ Suchet β perfect suits , shoe polish , gloves πΈ Finney β clean but not as fussy πΈ Branagh β a bit too dramatic in grooming --- π§ 4. Intelligence & Method πΉ βI am not one to rely upon physical evidence. I use the little grey cells.β β The Big Four (1927) Psychology-based deductions Avoids fingerprint obsession or brute force Dismisses red herrings and goes after motive and psychology > π₯ Closest portrayals: πΈ Suchet β pure psychological method πΈ Finney β sharp intellect , but less emphasized πΈ Ustinov β more jovial , less βgrey cellβ driven πΈ Branagh β mixes emotion and action unnecessarily --- π£οΈ 5. Speech & Accent πΉ βHis English was precise , but with a foreign accent.β β Peril at End House (1932) Belgian French accent , not French or British Always speaks in precise , formal English Often corrects others politely > π₯ Closest portrayals: πΈ Suchet β perfect subtle Belgian accent πΈ Finney β formal , slight accent πΈ Branagh β inconsistent Belgian-French tone πΈ Ustinov β more laid-back , not authentic Belgian --- π§Ό 6. Personality & Mannerisms πΉ βEverything must be tidy and symmetrical.β β The ABC Murders (1936) Fastidious , orderly Polite but proud Prone to mild arrogance , but never mean Occasionally flustered by disorder > π₯ Closest portrayals: πΈ Suchet β obsessive , neat , respectful πΈ Ustinov β polite but too casual πΈ Finney β more reserved , dignified πΈ Branagh β too emotional at times (e.g. crying in Death on the Nile) --- π¬ 7. Humor & Warmth πΉ βPoirot smiled β that slow smile that came rarely , but lighted up his whole face.β β Five Little Pigs (1942) Not comedic , but dryly witty Charming in a subtle way , especially with women or children Rarely emotional , but has empathy > π₯ Closest portrayals: πΈ Suchet β subtle warmth and charm πΈ Ustinov β more humorous , sometimes too light πΈ Branagh β goes for modern emotion --- π Summary: Who Comes Closest? Trait Best Portrayal Physical Build David Suchet Moustache Our Composite (Suchet + Branagh shape) Accent & Speech Suchet (with Finneyβs formality) Intelligence Suchet Mannerisms Suchet Humor Suchet with a dash of Ustinov Visual Style Suchet + Finney blend --- π Verdict: David Suchet remains the gold standard overall. But a Finney base with Suchetβs mannerisms and moustache enhancements (as we created earlier) gives you a 100% faithful visual and behavioral Poirot.
