'Evil Under the Sun' is the one you're thinking of (IMDb rocks), but he's been Poirot a number of times. I adore Ustinov - saw him in a one-man-show years ago (I was a very uncool uni student) and have seldom enjoyed myself more.
I read a number of Tommy and Tuppence stories when I was young(er) and also enjoyed the fact that they were a married couple but still did lots of really interesting stuff. Can still remember Tuppence being rolled up in a carpet for some reason while pregnant *grin*.
Agatha Christie is one of those authors who is either loved or hated, but if you love her you can pick up a book and start reading. Handy that, because when you're stuck in a waiting room, or spending a wet weekend in a B&B, guaranteed there's at least ONE Christie available *grin*.
Joan Hickson was great, and I love Peter Ustinov's Poirot.

My favourite as a kid was Dead Man's Folly. That gave me nightmares! *shiver*

And yay for cool married couples having adventures together. So sadly rare in fiction.

Yes...because life ends abruptly after leaving the wedding reception!
And Tuppence really is...!
