Great Fun!, 1 February 2000

If for no other reason than seeing Margaret Rutherford, in a sleeveless and shoulderless gown no less, dancing with Robert Morely, one should see this entry in the Miss Marple films of the 60's starring the indomitable Margaret Rutherford. Once again Miss Marple suspects murder and must investigate herself when unable to convince "old" friend Inspector Craddock. Along for the ride again is her librarian friend(and real-life husband) Stringer Davis. This time Miss Marple goes to a riding lodge, and seeing Miss Rutherford mount and ride is a sight to behold. The film boasts a good supporting cast with Davis, Charles Tingwell, Morely and Flora Robson as standouts. Great Fun!
