Taken at the Flood
Cloade was caused not by a German air raid, but an
apparent gas explosion that Poirot later reveals was
a bomb planted by David Hunter.
· Rosaleen was made into a morphine addict.
· Kathy becomes Adela's sister, whereas in the novel,
it is Lionel who is a Cloade. The credits mistakenly
refer to Lionel as a Cloade however, his surname
is 'Woodward' (as revealed by Kathy when she visits
Poirot at the beginning of the adaptation).
· Kathy also repeatedly harasses the false Rosaleen by
calling her "whore", "slut", "bitch" and "bigamist"
through anonymous phone calls, an event not found
in the novel.
· In the film, the false Rosaleen, Eileen Corrigan,
is saved in time (thanks to Dr. Woodward's morphine
addiction and his theft of some of her morphine),
and Poirot proves that David, knowing that
she would attempt suicide out of feelings of guilt for
her actions, has set it up so that she would use the
morphine as a means to try to kill herself.
