“The McGregor Case,” Estonia Produces a Christie Adaptation NO ONE Has Heard Of (Including Us!) (1991) (Ep. 13)
Episode Description
Before we move on to “The Murder of Roger Ackroyd,” let’s discuss this adaptation of Agatha Christie’s “The Unexpected Guest.” This play is popular everywhere but in Britain and the U.S., which has never filmed it. Why is that? And how well did the Estonians do?
While this movie is subtitled, it was done using AI, so we’ll also talk about the current state of translation software and artificial intelligence.
Teresa Peschel, author of "Agatha Christie, She Watched" and the "International Agatha Christie, She Watched," hosts our livestream. Joining Teresa is her husband, technical adviser, and straight man, Bill Peschel. Together, they are Peschel Press, publisher of intriguing, intelligent, and idiosyncratic books (www.peschelpress.com).
