3.0 out of 5 stars Passable, but not the best adaptation of a Christie novel., 16 Jan 2001
By rj_fc@yahoo.co.uk (Nottinghamshire, England) - See all my reviews
This isn't a bad adaptation of the Agatha Christie novel 'The Mirror Crack'd From Side to Side', but there are two major 'faults' with it. The main problem I had with this version is that Miss Marple, supposedly an elderly lady, is played by Angela Lansbury, who at the time was maybe twenty years too young for the part. That aside, she does give a good performance. Another reason that the film isn't as good as it could have been is that too much screen time is given over to a character who doesn't play that much significance in the story. This was almost certainly because the character is played by Kim Novak, but the concentration on the friction between her character and Elizabeth Taylor's character, Marina Gregg, distracts from the main plot. If you want to watch a version of this book, I suggest you try the BBC version starring Joan Hickson, Claire Bloom, Elizabeth Garvie and David Horovitch instead, which is excellent.

4.0 out of 5 stars Do Not Dismiss, 23 Sep 2008
This review is from: The Mirror Crack'd [DVD] [1980] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
Lansbury's Miss Marple is nothing like Agatha Christie's chataracter of that name, there is some awful dialogue, yet the film is enjoyable and highly watchable. (Infinitely better than the Rutherfords, though of course inferior to the Joan Hickson version.)I particularly liked the black-and-white opening, the whodunit within the whodunit, and Miss Marple's initial deductions which establish her sleuthorial credentials. Good camera work and wonderful music score.
