DVD Review: Excelent quality for used dvds!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Agatha Christi, Miss Marple, Dvds I ordered were of excellent quality and fair price. There was a small delay. My order was sent to the wrong person, but she graciously sent it directly to me.
DVD Review: Agatha Christie Mystery Fan
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a great fan of the Agatha Christie Miss Marple mysteries that have been made into movies. This was a very good buy. 3 full length movies. Included was information about Agatha Christy on the 3rd DVD. I also enjoy the Poirot series with David Suchet as Poirot. DVD Review: MYSTERY FUN
Summary: 4 Stars
THESE ARE THREE OF CHRISTIE'S BEST STORIES.
MISS MARPLE IS A LIFE TIME PEOPLE WATCHER. THUS,
HER COMPARISONS TO PEOPLE OF THE PAST GIVE HER
CLUES TO PRESENT DAY PROBLEMS. VERY SMART AND OFTEN
MISTAKEN AS A MEDDLESOME SPINSTER. SHE IS IN FACT
QUITE ON THE MARK WITH HER PEOPLE WATCHING. TEA PARTIES
NOT WITHSTANDING. I ENJOYED THIS DVD VERY MUCH.
DVD Review: Miss Marple 3 features

Got this for my mom and I enjoyed it just as much as she did. Joan Hickson is Miss Marple come off the pages to life itself. If you're a Christie fan this is a must have for your library collection. DVD Review: Miss Marple Gift Set
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent stories, not as clear as I would like but still enjoyed the DVDs.I will buy more. The only problem is the shows overlap in many sets.
Description of Miss Marple - 3 Feature Length Mysteries (The Body in the Library / A Murder Is Announced / A Pocketful of Rye)
The beloved dowager detective Miss Marple (Joan Hickson) unravels three of Agatha Christie's most popular brainteasers: A Murder Is Announced A Pocketful of Rye and the series premiere The Body in the Library.Running Time: 421 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?MYSTERY/SUSPENSE Rating:?NR UPC:?794051168924 Manufacturer No:?E1689In the hands of Agatha Christie, the murder mystery is like a sonata crossed with a magic trick--an intricate formal structure that depends on ingenious misdirection. On top of that, the movies made from her novels are an opportunity for great British character actors to languish in icy disdain, insinuating glances, arch humor, and trembling suggestions of guilt. This set gathers together three fine BBC productions, starting with The Body in the Library (in which a blond stranger's corpse turns up in a British squire's house), A Murder Is Announced) (in which a supposed parlor game has fatal consequences), and A Pocketful of Rye (in which a nursery rhyme becomes a recipe for a series of poisonings). All star Joan Hickson as Christie's much-loved elderly sleuth, Miss Marple. The way Hickson's eyes light up at the mention of mysterious death makes her seem like a delightfully dotty old ghoul; she hovers at the periphery of investigations, noticing the telling details that police inspectors overlook. The productions lay out plot threads and clues with surgical precision, while the actors play stock characters with exquisite relish. --Bret Fetzer
