Audio problem: At the beginning of the movie, a local errand guy delivers a box to Poirot from a gondola. The actor is supposed to be speaking Italian in his first phrase, but he says "Segnor Poirot, lo pesce!" (Mr. Poirot, your fish!), totally off in accent and grammar, obviously from an English-speaking actor poorly faking an Italian accent. Moreover, the box does not contain fish, but turns out a few minutes later to be a box of chocolates. In fact, the Italian version redubs this line entirely and the guy says the equivalent of "Mr. Poirot, your sweets" in a Venetian accent ("Sior Poirot, I suoi dolcetti!").
