Miss Marple: A Pocketful of Rye

A man dies under mysterious circumstances in Chipping Kleghorn and suddenly aunt Jane is coming to stay.

As with most of Agatha Christie's movies, everybody and nobody could have done it. Miss Jane Marple is the catalyst that helps Inspector Craddock (John Castle) and others to view the situation differently and extrapolate the "who" that "done it." It is interesting that the inspector in some movies is related to Jane and in other movies not. Inspector Craddock here is interesting as he is polite and tolerant of the people he is interrogating.

It is fun to try and match the real names of the actors with the part that they are playing. Would you suspect that Hannah is (Elaine Ives-Cameron)? Or that Miss Hinchcliffe is (Paola Dionisotti)?

Anyway, keep your eyes open, as there is not a wasted movement or word in this movie. You will find yourself repeating key lines.
