I enjoyed Angela Lansbury’s portrayal of Miss Marple in this film. Surprised she didn’t play Miss Marple in that. The story’s the same despite certain alterations.Īngela Lansbury is no stranger to the world of Agatha Christie as she played Salome Otterbourne in the 1978 ‘Death on the Nile’ film with Peter Ustinov. It was fascinating to watch this film adaptation of a Miss Marple story that I knew fairly well and compare/contrast it with other TV versions I’d seen. They include the 1992 Joan Hickson BBC version as well as the 2011 Julia McKenzie ITV version. ![]() Hence why they cut to ‘The Mirror Crack’d’! □ I’ve seen other TV adaptations of this ‘Miss Marple’ tale. It’s of course based on the 1962 book ‘The Mirror Crack’d From Side to Side’. It’s interesting about ‘The Mirror Crack’d’ as a film adaptation of one of the Miss Marple books. ![]() There are clearly certain characters reduced and omitted in this film. It’s just the creative choices made behind this film sometimes make it a less faithful film adaptation of the book it was based upon. Not that Angela Lansbury isn’t great as she provides an intriguing take on the character. With that said, I don’t think ‘The Mirror Crack’d’ is a great film adaptation featuring the Miss Marple character. I assume it did well in the UK, but sadly all the plans for future ‘Miss Marple’ films had to be scrapped. ‘The Mirror Crack’d’ was considered a box office disappointment when it was released in America. □Īs I understand it, there was originally going to be three movies made with Miss Marple, like there were three movies made with Poriot by the same producers. She later did ‘Murder, She Wrote’.Īfter the success of the first two Poriot films they made – ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ and ‘Death on the Nile’, producers John Brabourne and Richard Goodwin decided to do Miss Marple territory. A shame really! I would’ve liked Angela Lansbury to do more Miss Marples. So, here we have the first and only movie to feature Angela Lansbury as Miss Marple.

And Gladys is found strangled, a peg on her nose. Yet the call for help has come too late: Rex's glamorous and cheating young wife also falls foul of the poisoner. Maid Gladys who was trained by Miss Marple, is acting strangely, and writes to her former employer for help. Inspector Neele (McFadyen) is despatched to the house to investigate. Nobody seems too upset, as Rex was universally disliked as a tyrant, especially by his children. A pocketful of rye is found in his jacket. Wealthy businessman Rex Fortescue (Kenneth Craham) collapses after his breakfast, poisoned by an extract from yew berries. From Yahoo: A Pocket Full of Rye will see Miss Marple trying to solve her most compelling case yet. Julia McKenzie will make her debut in A Pocket Full of Rye and as usual for Agatha Christie productions a hoard of well known actors will be joining her including Rupert Graves, Matthew McFadyen, Helen Baxendale, Wendy Richard and Ralf Little. ![]()
