Murder She Said (1961)
Murder She Said is a 1961 movie based on an Agatha Christie mystery novel. It stars Margaret Rutherford as Miss Marple. Joan Hickson has a role in this one. They take many liberties with the plot of the book, but it's a fun film anyway.
It got good reviews, but Christie herself didn't approve of all the changes.

Wonderful Film! Valerie
ReplyDeleteI think she makes a good Miss Marple :)
DeleteSounds like a perfect movie for a rainy afternoon.
ReplyDeleteYes! I enjoy comparing them :) and having Joan Hickson in this is a treat.
DeleteI don't know this film but I do remember reading the book. Think it might be time for an Agatha again. I haven't read one in years. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI've read some of them but am mostly familiar through the Joan Hickson tv series.
DeleteI'm going to take time away from my bed rest to watch this one. Oh for a laptop or a tablet.
ReplyDeleteProp up and enjoy :) I do hope you're better soon!
Deletethis sounds really good-thank you
ReplyDeleteShe makes a good Miss Marple.
DeleteUp with the plugged sinuses all night and this made an interesting diversion. I know I've seen another version of this. Maybe one Agatha liked better? ;) I didn't really care for this Miss Marple as much but the plots are always good...even if I already knew it--hehe! Myself, I prefer a bit gentler Miss Marple. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was part of the Joan Hickson BBC series, and that one was more faithful than this one was. I've always liked that series, but I'm the only one here who's a fan.
