Whether you picture Miss Marple as Margaret Rutherford portrays her or not you will probably still enjoy her unique style in the role.

With the ever faithful Mr Stringer and the not so patient Inspector Craddock right behind her, Miss Marple makes it her business to catch the real murderer of Mrs McGinty, when the police and everyone else think they have already got him in custody. Based on the book Mrs McGinty's Dead this is a very enjoyable (largely due to Rutherfords comedy slant) adaptation with an excellent cast. The plot is straightforward and easy to follow. That said, even as you see Miss Marple work her way through the clues, the culprit is never obvious, and remains well hidden amongst the assembled characters.

Definitely worth a look.

Margeret Rutherford takes on the role of Miss Marple in Murder Most Foul. It is based on Agatha Christie's Mrs McGinty's Dead. Miss Marple is the one juror in court who isn't convinced of the first suspects guilt who was supposed to of murdered Mrs McGinty. The case is thrown out of court much to the irritation of Inspector Craddock and Miss Marple joins a local drama troupe to investigate the real murderer. Margaret Rutherford gives a delightful audition to get in but the director isn't convinced (played by Ron Moody of Oliver fame) but he soon reconsiders when he learns Miss Marple is independently wealthy. With help of Mr Stringer (played by Rutherford's real life husband Stringer Davis) Miss Marple, in the unique comic slant Rutherford puts into the role, manages to solve the crime. I won't reveal who the murderer is but I will tell ya it certainly wasn't who I originally thought it was but a very satisfying conclusion. :-)

I remember watching this with my parents and brothers when telly was all in black and white. Margaret Rutherford was a great favourite. The more serious her expression, the funnier. What a treat to find this film is now available on VHS. DVD would be preferable but really, I mustn't grumble because I'm just so delighted to have found it. I've also enjoyed Joan Hickson's Miss Marple -- well, Joan Hickson is another great favourite, but she does a completely different Miss Marple. You'd never believe it was the same character if you didn't know they both played an amateur lady sleuth called Jane Marple, created by Agatha Christie.

This is a three-murder mystery and our heroine is chasing down the trail of clues like a terrier after a bunny. Her trusty assistant, Mr Stringer is a stout hearted and dependable fellow, trotting about all over the place, fetching her morsels of information as she instructs. The policemen are all buffoons and deeply in her debt by the end, of course. This is the sort of thing that never happens in real life and on the whole, it's played for laughs. It's old-fashioned, gentle and irreverent. Margaret Rutherford is perfect for this particular Marple-persona.

I'm so pleased to have found this old gem. It might not appeal to the fans of modern murder mysteries, but if you like the Ealing comedies, you'll probably enjoy this. I'm rating it 5-star because of personal nostalgia as well as the fine quality of the film.
