Miss Marple-Murder Most Foul [VHS]

I remember watching this with my parents and brothers when telly was all in black and white. Margaret Rutherford was a great favourite. The more serious her expression, the funnier. What a treat to find this film is now available on VHS. DVD would be preferable but really, I mustn't grumble because I'm just so delighted to have found it. I've also enjoyed Joan Hickson's Miss Marple -- well, Joan Hickson is another great favourite, but she does a completely different Miss Marple. You'd never believe it was the same character if you didn't know they both played an amateur lady sleuth called Jane Marple, created by Agatha Christie.This is a three-murder mystery and our heroine is chasing down the trail of clues like a terrier after a bunny. Her trusty assistant, Mr Stringer is a stout hearted and dependable fellow, trotting about all over the place, fetching her morsels of information as she instructs. The policemen are all buffoons and deeply in her debt by the end, of course. This is the sort of thing that never happens in real life and on the whole, it's played for laughs. It's old-fashioned, gentle and irreverent. Margaret Rutherford is perfect for this particular Marple-persona.I'm so pleased to have found this old gem. It might not appeal to the fans of modern murder mysteries, but if you like the Ealing comedies, you'll probably enjoy this. I'm rating it 5-star because of personal nostalgia as well as the fine quality of the film.
