The answer was obvious. An Anglo-American writer of detective fiction of unimpeachable reputation, Raymond Chandler, was hired and immediately suggested teaming up Poirot with his own creation – former metaphysical poet, Marlowe. This allowed for a narration in the hard-bitten gum-shoe style familiar from Sam Spade movies and a style audiences would find more acceptable. Chandler called his screenplay “Dead Dagoes Don’t Drive Diesels!” but MGM refused to rename the project claiming the title would alienate an important section of its potential audience - steam enthusiasts.
