Excalibur (film)
When first released in the United Kingdom in 1981, the film ran to 140m 30s, and was classified as a "AA" by the BBFC, restricting it to those aged 14 and over. In 1982, the BBFC replaced the "AA" certificate with the higher age-specific "15", which was also applied to "Excalibur" when released on home video.
Black Coffee (play)
"Black Coffee's" resurrection as a novel was not its first significant reworking, however. It had been adapted into a motion picture, also entitled "Black Coffee", way back in 1931. Running to 78 minutes, the motion picture was produced by Julius S. Hagan and released on 19 August 1931 by Twickenham Film Studios. Austin Trevor played the role of Poirot in the motion picture. A few months earlier, he had played the same character in a screen version of the "Alibi", made by the same film studio. ("Alibi" was an adaptation of Christie's classic whodunnit, "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd".)
