Miss Marple's First Case.
17 November 2013
George Pollock directed this adaptation of the Agatha Christie novel "4:50 From Paddington" that stars Margaret Rutherford as Jane Marple, an older but still lively woman who loves to read mysteries, and while on a train witnesses a woman being strangled. She tries to convince police, led by Inspector Craddock(played by Charles Tingwell) but no body can be found, so she then proceeds to investigate the matter herself, enlisting her librarian friend Mr. Stringer as she goes in search of a body, which leads to the home of a wealthy family that she then gets a job with as a maid. Then more murders occur... Fun film with Rutherford both smart and amusing, with nice atmosphere and cast.
