Antonin Lambert

In Jeux de glaces, the TV film adaptation of Agatha Christie's They do it with Mirrors by France Télévisions, Antonin Lambert is the parallel of Alexis Restarick in the original novel. He is the nephew of Rose-Marie Bousquet, the Carrie Louise Serrocold parallel and like Alexis, is a playwright. Antonin Lambert is portrayed by Guillaume Bienvenu.

Like Alexis, Antonin is none-too-successful is his career. He depends on handouts from his aunt Rose-Marie who says that she always treated him as a son. He is a beneficiary of Rose-Marie's will and so when it is suggested that someone in the family is trying to poison Rose-Marie, Antonin also becomes a suspect. Like Alexis he also uses the inmates of the half-way house as characters in his drama, although it is not clear if this is part of the therapy planned by Etienne Bousquet or he is just using them because they are conveniently available. Also like Alexis, he does not have an alibi for the killing of Pierre Montauban. Alice Avril said she saw him arrive at the house a few minutes before the event. He claimed that he was outside admiring the scene of the house in the fog because it suited a scene he was trying to capture in his play.

Like the Restarick brothers in the original, Antonin tries to romance Juliette, the wife of Jimmy White. Juliette appears to respond but later it becomes clear that she loves Jimmy. In this adaptation, Antonin, despite his background in drama, does not get the insight into how the murder of Montauban was committed. Alice is the one who comments that the situation in the living room is like a scene in a drama.

Antonin is not killed in the course of the story. Like in many other adaptations, the character of Alexis' brother Stephen is done away with and the roles of the two are combined.
