Unfortunately there isn't much more to appreciate. Even that black and white segment (again, great cinematography!) at the beginning was quite pointless, as it was the last scene with Poirot back at the club waiting for the blues singer without his moustache.

Well the black and white scene was to vest people into Poirot's backstory a bit so as to create contrast against the end where he shaves his mustache for a potential new love as he stands fully revealed for her, scars and all!
So.... definitely not pointless. You might feel that it was an unnecessary addition, but definitely not
pointless.
