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.

  3. I 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

    1. I've read some of them but am mostly familiar through the Joan Hickson tv series.

  6. Up 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. :)

    1. It 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.
