"Movie releases of Agatha Christie Novels"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Five movies and one DVD backgrounding some of Agatha Christie's bac­kground and the background to the movies.

Pure indulgence and nostalgia.

I loved “Murder on the Orient Express”, such a great cast and lavish production values and costumes. All the movies were wonderfully costumed and the interviews with the costume designer were very interesting.

All the movies were good, the weakest being “Endless Night” more for the fact it seemed the most dated. Christie novels are full of interesting characters and the actors obviously enjoyed playing the parts.

I am glad I bought this and it will be watched many times.

The year is 1953. The small English village of St. Mary Mead, home to Miss Jane Marple, is delighted when a big American movie company arrives to make a movie telling of the relationship between Jane Grey and Elisabeth I, starring the famous actresses Marina Rudd and Lola Brewster. Marina arrives with her husband, Jason, and when she discovers that Lola is going to be in the movie with her she hits the roof as Lola and Marina loathe each other on sight. Marina has been getting death threats and at a party at the manor house, Heather Babcock, after boring Marina with a long story, drinks a cocktail made for Marina and dies from poisoning. Everybody believes that Marina is the target but the police officer investigating the case, Inspector Craddock isn't sure so he asks Miss Marple, his aunt, to investigate.
