Rating: - A great tape
When a rich man dies under very mysterious circumstances, Miss Marple (played by Joan Hickson) becomes interested. However, when she begins to really follow the details of what has happened, she quickly realizes that more murders are sure to follow. This is a very deep mystery, and only Jane Marple can find out what is really going on and why! [Color, released in 1985, with a running time of 2:33.]
Every once in a while, an actor comes along who not only plays the role of Sherlock Holmes, ... Read More
Rating: - A Nursery Rhyme Points to Murder!!
+++++
I watched this movie without reading the 1953 Dame Agatha Christie novel that it was based on. (Christie wrote twelve Miss Marple murder mysteries altogether.) I'm glad I did this! Why? Because it forced me to really watch the movie in order to try and deduce who the murderer was.
This movie begins with a wealthy person dying. The police, led by Detective Inspector Neele (Tom Wilkinson), are called in to investigate. Forensics determines that this person was poisoned ... Read More
Rating: - Sing a Song of Murder ...
Seemingly innocuous, English nursery rhymes often have a rather sinister origin; and noone knew this better than Agatha Christie, who repeatedly used them as a motif; most famously probably in 1939's "And Then There Were None" (a/k/a "Ten Little Indians"), where the murderer kills his victims, one by one, in the fashion of the "Ten Little Indians" ditty.
"A Pocket Full of Rye" is one of three Christie mysteries based on "Sing a Song of Sixpence;" the others are the short stories "Four and Twenty ... Read More
Rating: - Aunt Jane does it again,
Outside of the two Miss Marple collection sets at this time are three videos that are more of a made for television series. This is one "A Pocketful of Rye" ASIN: B00004WG9D Rex Fortescue (Timothy West) is out of character as he arrives at is office. You immediately know something is wrong because this is England and Rex has ordered his tea much too early. Yep mean old nasty Rex is found dead. Thorough detectives have determined that there was some mysterious grain in his pocket. If you remember the nursery rime ... Read More
Rating: - Incorrect video packages
This is just to say that I have almost all of the Miss Marple videos and several have incorrect pictures on the jackets. For instance "A Pocket Full of Rye"... has a picture of a scene from "Murder At The Vicarage" with Joan Hickson and Paul Eddington. There are a couple of others also. I makes it a little confusing when you go to choose one to watch. Thank you.
