Trivia

 * The title of the novel was unfamiliar to U.S. readers for many years. Lord Edgware Dies was originally published in the U.K. & U.S. in September 1933 under the same title, but later that very same year the U S. publisher decided to print the novel again but changed the title to Thirteen At Dinner. This second title was taken from the old superstition that if there are 13 people sitting down to dinner at the same time, the first person to get up and leave will experience bad luck. Eventually, however, in more recent printings the novel returned to being printed in the U.S. under it's original title.
 * John Castle portrayed Lord Edgware in Agatha Christie's Poirot, but this is not the first time Castle was involved within an adaptation of Agatha Christie's novel. He played Detective Inspector Craddock in Miss Marple: A Murder Is Announced (1985) and Miss Marple: The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side (1992).
