I love Suchet. He has a gentility as Poirot. Ustinov mostly seemed ... smug?

Agreed. When I'm reading the stories now, Poirot's voice is always Suchet. He just captures the role perfectly. And you can tell he really gets into it and enjoys what he's doing. Ustinov's version is okay, but he does seem to be smug in a way that Poirot isn't. Poirot is arrogant, sure, but he isn't smug.

Very arrogant, sometimes. His disdain for legwork always did rub me the wrong way a bit. It's his gentility that leavens that, which is why Ustinov fell flat to me. Poirot is, being fair and honest, an easy man to hate sometimes. You need to show the other side of him to avoid that.

True. I think Poirot's arrogance makes him an interesting characters, but yes the gentility does balance it out so that he's bearable. Without it, he would be hard to root for after a while.
