I watched this movie without reading the 1930 Dame Agatha Christie novel that it was based on. (This novel introduced the world to Miss Marple. 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.

A murder occurs at the vicarage in the small village in which Agatha Christie's heroine super sleuth Miss Marple (the late Joan Hickson) lives. Inspector Slack (David Horovitch) is called in to investigate. Miss Marple helps him solve the murder.

To make this case even more intriguing, not one but two prime suspects confess to this murder. It seems like they are trying to protect the real murderer.

Who are the people associated with this vicarage? They are as follows:

(1) Reverend Leonard Clement (Paul Eddington)
(2) Griselde Clement, the reverend's wife (Cheryl Campbell)
(3) Colonel Lucius Protheroe (Robert Lang)
(4) Anne Protheroe, the colonel's wife (Polly Adams)
(5) Lettice Protheroe, the colonel's daughter (Tara MacGowran)
(6) Lawrence Redding who is having an affair with the colonel's wife (James Hazeldine)
(7) Reverend Christopher Hewes (Chris Good)
(8) Mrs. Lestrange, a newcomer to the village (Norma West)
(9) Dr. Haydock (Michael Browning)
(10) Mary Wright, the Clement's maid (Rachel Weaver)
(11) Bill Archer, the maid's boyfriend (Jack Galloway)

Joan Hickson (whom Agatha Christie herself wanted to play Miss Marple) captures the essence of the heroine super sleuth in her performance. (Hickson was 80 years old in this movie!) All performances in this movie are good but special mention should go to David Horovitch who does an above job of portraying the inspector.

I found this movie murder mystery especially intriguing since it was a big surprise to me as to who the real murderer was.

Finally, the cinematography of this movie is good. All costumes are authentic looking. The background music adds to each scene.

In conclusion, this is a fun movie even if you have read the novel it's based on!!

(1986; 100 min; made for T.V.; British drama; full screen; color)
