The character of Bianchi, played by Martin Balsam, was originally conceived in the novel as a Frenchman named M. Bouc. He was reconfigured as an Italian for the movie version, primarily to justify English as the common language between him and Poirot, thus avoiding stretches of extended dialogue between the characters in French, as frequently occurred in the book. Transforming M. Bouc into an Italian produced a happy by-product in Bianchi's comical banter with chauffeur Antonio Foscarelli (Denis Quilley).
