When Marple witnesses a strangulation on another passing train, this opens up quite an adventure for our problem solver. She pretends to be a maid and goes to work for quite a dysfunctional family.
Until the very end, Arthur Kennedy is terribly miscast as an affable benign doctor whose in love with the crusty old patriarch's daughter. What a nasty family we have there with everyone obviously waiting for the old man to close his eyes so that they can inherit a fortune.
Marple literally digs for clues and the end scene, after the murder is resolved, even gets a marriage proposal from our old gentleman.
