Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Margaret Rutherford is absolutely hillarious
I own the whole series, and think they are all wonderfully funny. Margaret Rutherford is a British national treasure. Her humor is so tongue-and-cheek, and she plays it off superbly. I love it that they include her real life husband (Mr. Stringer)in all the movies. They make a wonderful golden years couple.
Rating: - Love That Rutherford
I only have one thing to say. When are they going to produce Margaret Rutherford's (1892-1972) classic movies on DVD for Region 1 (USA)? Murder She Said 1961, Murder At the Gallop 1963, Murder Ahoy 1964, and Murder Most Foul 1964 (Agatha Christie stories) are all great movies. I love the face and acting of Dame Rutherford. ***ON DVD FOR REGION 1***
Rating: - The only true Miss Marple
I fell in love with the Margaret Rutherford series of Miss Marple movies one summer home from school. She was my hero and mentor and I proceeded to haunt my neighborhood in search of clues or dastardly deeds!
She was so English and proper, but so very funny. These movies should be on DVD, they are much more worthy than silly re-releases of popular overviewed titles.
Rating: - It's great!

Rating:  - Light Weight Fun
Based on characters created by novelist Christie but working from a completely original script, this entry in Margaret Rutherford's "Jane Marple" series finds the elderly detective aboard a ship operating as a school for troubled boys, where she uncovers--not unexpectedly--murder.
As in the other films of this series, Rutherford and the cast play the piece with a very light touch; here, however, the supporting cast is particularly noteworthy, with Lionel Jeffries a particular delight. Fans ... Read More
