Storyline
BBC TV adaption of the Agatha Christie's novel. A young recently married woman, Gwenda Reed, comes back to England after living most of her life in New Zealand. While her husband, Giles, is out of the country she buys a house for them and starts recalling memories which make her start to think that perhaps she had lived in the house before. It's only then, while dining out with friends, that a chance remark triggered off a frightening memory, as a little girl, looking down at a woman's body and the murderer with "monkey paws" hands. Gwenda is determined to find out the sources of this memory. The killer, thought that he/she was safe after eighteen years and is prepared to kill to cover up the past. But Gwenda has help as one of her dining friends is Raymond West, who has a very special Aunt who is willing to help Gwenda - Miss Jane Marple... Written by Lee Horton <Leeh@tcp.co.uk>

Trivia
A line in the film's ending, 'Cover her face, Mine eyes dazzle, Gwennie', spoken by Dr. Kennedy to Gwennie, are references to almost identical lines in Scene 2, Act 4 of the 17th century Jacobean play 'The Duchess of Malfi' published by the English playwright John Webster in 1623. In the 'Duchess of Malfi' the referenced line is 'Cover her face. Mine eyes dazzle. She died young.', spoken by the character Ferdinand to Bosola. See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Although the character of Gwenda Reed is purportedly a New Zealander the accent is clearly Australian. See more »Quotes
