I saw these films at the historic Lakewood Theater in Dallas as a very young tyke, so for me, Dame Margaret is Miss Marple. When they were shown on television my best friend (he still is) and I would watch simultaneously and we chatted the best lines on the phone.
Rutherford is simply a treasure to watch. Every facial expression is great - watch her as she serves coffee to the simpering siblings discussing the murder. And the Alexander kid character is not nearly so annoying as the young "Patrick" in "Auntie Mame" but for some reason is similar if not more worldly and cynical.
The golf game between the two is quite a delight. "Champion in 1921"! I love the score because it's eccentric just as our dear Miss Marple and Mr. Stringer.
Roll up your sleeves and do those dishes Dame Margaret, you have deducing to do later!
