DVD Reviews of Miss Marple - 3 Feature Length Mysteries (The Body in the Library / A Murder Is Announced / A Pocketful of Rye)
DVD Review: Miss Marple
Summary: 4 Stars
If you enjoyed the original television presentation of these mysteries you will like this DVD set. I just wish the images were clearer and had less visual noise. The picture quality is significantly inferior to the Midsomer Murder DVD sets ordered around the same time. Still, I'd rather have these than be without.DVD Review: Miss Marple- 3 fillms
Summary: 5 Stars
A well put together set of 3 of the Miss Marple series. Even though I had seen some of them before I was still spell bound due to the great cast and directionDVD Review: Miss Marple - 3 Feature Length Mysteries
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed it very much. My favorite of Christie's characters, & this actress was good in the part. DVD Review: Nice job again
Summary: 5 Stars
Not much more to say. She and Margaret are the 2 best examples of what the author had in mind as a character. DVD Review: Miss Marple, Feature Lenght Mysteries
Summary: 5 Stars
Joan Hickson is the perfect Miss Marple and really shines in all 3 of these films. Wonderful entertainment and authentic production.
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.In 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
