    • Goofs
      In the opening shots of the Savoy Hotel, numerous national flags are shown flying above the entrance. The Canadian Red Maple Leaf flag is clearly visible. Unfortunately, the time setting of the film predates the adoption of the Canadian flag in 1965. This time setting is borne out by a reference by one of the characters as claiming to be the son of a very important and busy man, Winston Churchill. Churchill died in February of 1965 and the Canadian flag was adopted later that same year. So if Churchill was alive and, a busy and important man, the Flag of Canada would have been a red ensign bearing the Canadian Shield not the red Maple Leaf Flag.

    Couldn't finish watching it
    I bought the whole series on DVD. But this closing instalment left me unimpressed. There are so many characters, some of them American, even Miss Marple struggles to keep track of who's who, who's whose ex-husband's son etc. None of them are particularly likeable or attractive, or interesting enough to make you care about them. A lot of speechifying goes on about "the youth are our future", nature vs. nurture, battling bureaucy... Yawn; and hardly the stuff Agatha Christie mysteries are made of. The direction looks inexperienced. The actors are either trying to get it over with or too keen to steal the show. Worst of all, Miss Marple becomes just an extra in this mess.
