George Pollock (1) (1907–1979)

An old woman decides to solve the murder she witnessed.

2.5/4 (Okay).

Rutherford's Marple is fun (as is her underused librarian sidekick). The actual mystery is terrible, though. I guess they didn't want to take time away from comedy to establish more than one potential suspect. I'm okay with that.

A film starring Margaret Rutherford (MGM, 1963).

An old woman decides to solve another murder.

C (Indifferent).

Apparently this was adapted from a Poirot book, which might explain why Miss Marple, who was such a delight in the previous movie, rarely has anything to do in this one. The murder mystery itself is not good, and doesn't really even end up being solved by Detectiving.

(Apr. 2023)

Set on snow covered mountain. Not bad although the ending is altered, as are some characters. Shirley Eaton plays a sex bomb who shrieks a lot, and Wilfred Hyde White makes an agreeable judge. The servant couple are a bit pantomime sketch like.

Acting: 5.0; Theme: 5.0; Content: 5.0; Language: 5.0; Overall: 5.0

Miss Marple must solve a murder that she witnesses on a train as her train passes by. Highly recommend.
