Hercule Poirot appeared on film for the first time in 1931. Alibi was an adaptation of Michael Morton's stage version of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (1926). He was played by the tall, dark and handsome matinee idol Austin Trevor. In spite of his physical unsuitability, Trevor played the dapper detective in two more films, Black Coffee (1931), an adaptation of Christie's first play, and Lord Edgware Dies (1934) based on the 1933 novel.
