Julia Mackenzie replaces Geraldine McEwan as Miss Marple in a series that has gained notoriety because of their vast changes to Agatha Christie's original novels. "A Pocket Full of Rye" continues the series (it is not a reboot).
Happily, Kevin Elyot was on board for the first episode of this new series. Elyot is a reliable screenwriter, who manages to stay very faithful to the original book. That being said, I was able enjoy a reasonably close rendition of the book on screen.
This episode was a good start for Julia Mackenzie. I am one of the few who enjoyed McEwan in the role, although I am first to admit she was not the Miss Marple from the books.Surprisingly, Mackenzie's portrayal I enjoyed much more, and is much closer to the Miss Marple of the books.
"A Pocket Full of Rye" is a good start for Mackenzie, and hopefully helps return the series to the books. I am certainly looking forward to seeing her in future films.
