Jeannine Poussin

In Cartes sur table, the French Télévisions film adaptation of Agatha Christie's Cards on the Table, for the Les Petits Meurtres d'Agatha Christie TV series, Jeannine Poussin is the parallel of Miss Burgess in the original story.

At the time of the events in the episode, Jeannine is the secretary of Dr Emile Barillon but she has a bigger role in the plot than in the original. She was formerly the fiancee of Dr Barillon but then she broke off the engagement and got engaged to his twin brother Jean Barillon instead. The doctor became jealous and killed his brother by injecting small amounts of poison into him over a period of time. He died about a month before he and Jeannine were going to be married. After Jean's death, Emile offered Jeannine a job as his secretary. Jeannine told Alice that Emile could have been angry with her and Jean. But equally she told Laurence that Emile was a kind and generous person who wouldn't hurt a fly. At the time of the events in the show, Jeannine had been working for Dr Barillon for twelve years. Jeannine Poussin is portrayed by Florence Masure.
