Miss Marple Classic

Miss Marple ist eine liebenswert-schrullige alte Jungfer, aber wenn es um das Lösen von Rätseln geht, beweist sie ihren scharfen, logischen Verstand. In bester Krimitradition erstaunt sie dabei die örtlichen professionellen Gesetzeshüter, indem sie normalerweise Analogien zu früheren Ereignissen und Personen aus dem Dorfleben herstellt.

Never mind purists who bemoan Margaret Rutherford's incarnation of Agatha Christie's celebrated spinster sleuth. These four British films, produced between 1961 and 64, are jolly good, regardless of their tenuous connection with Miss Marple as written, or with Christie herself. One of the films, in fact, Murder Ahoy, is an original screenplay credited as "an interpretation of Miss Marple." And two others, Murder at the Gallop and Murder Most Foul were based on books featuring Christie's other famed detective, Hercule Poirot." But no matter. The redoubtable Rutherford indelibly makes Marple her very own, or, as she proclaims to Inspector Craddock (Charles Tingwell), with whom she locks horns throughout all four films, "I am always myself."

La celebre investigatrice di Agatha Chriistie interpretata da Margaret Rutherford, in quattro episodi girati tra 1962 e il 1965. Nel caso "Assassinio sul Treno" (conosciuto anche come " Istantanea di un Delitto") appare la giovane Joan Hickson, la quale, decenni dopo, interpreterà Miss Marple nell'adattamento televisivo dello stesso romanzo (e di altri ancora).
