Parker Pyne is another famous detective, created by Agatha Christie. In the film incarnations, he's played by Maurice Denham.

Overview[]

The Parker Pine Agency is not a detective agency in the traditional sense. Pine considers his task to be “healing the soul,” and equates an unhappy state to a disease. His goal is to bring clients the desired happiness: return family happiness, taste for life, and solve other personal problems. He conventionally divides human problems into several types according to their root causes: poor health, boredom, problems of wives with husbands, problems of husbands with wives. His methods: cunning, manipulation, involving the client in dramatic performances based on scripts written by the writer Ariadne Oliver. She comes up with such scenarios twice for Pine's clients. Parker refers to her as “a world-renowned novelist.” Ariadne Oliver also appears in works about Hercule Poirot, where she helps him conduct investigations. Parker Pyne's secretary is Miss Lemon, the future secretary of Hercule Poirot. Also working for Pine are thirty-year-old handsome Claude Luttrell, who is assigned the role of a comforter to unhappy wives, as well as Madeleine de Sara (real name Maggie Sayers), a young beauty, a vamp, who is assigned the role of a comforter to unhappy husbands.
