Agatha Christie's Miss Marple (1989 series): Collection one /
Originally televised in the UK 1984-1985. Produced by Guy Slater from the novels by Agatha Christie Joan Hickson, with Renee Asherson and John Castle (The body in the library) ; Andrew Bicknell and Sabina Franklyn (The moving finger) ; Andrew Cruickshank and Raymond Francis (A murder is announced) THE BODY IN THE LIBRARY: set in the deceptively sleepy English Village of St. Mary Mead during the late 1940s. When the corpse of an unknown platinum blonde is discovered Miss Marple comes at once to investigate. THE MOVING FINGER: Squadron Leader Gerry Burton is sent to a tranquil country village to recover from the effects of a plane crash and be nursed back to health by his beautiful sister Joanna. As they are new to the community, they are shocked to receive an anonymous, sexually explicit poison pen letter. They later find that other village gentry have been victimized by the same crank writer, and the vicar's wife sends for her friend Miss Marple in hopes of exposing the perpetrator. When a solicitor's wife apparently takes poison after receiving a particularly vicious message, Miss Marple suspects that the letters are a smokescreen for something more ominous. When a house maid is found bludgeoned to death, she knows she is right. A MURDER IS ANNOUNCED: An unusual announcement in the newspaper leads the curious villagers to Miss Blacklock's home, where they become witnesses to a murder."The perfect little spinster lady whose meekness and fondness for knitting belie a needle-sharp brain and a genius for unravelling crime. The first 3 popular crime stories from the original BBC series, filmed entirely on location, are included in this 3 DVD collector's set, presented in their original format"-- Container. Censorship classification: PG. Region 4, PAL Subtitles: English for the hard of hearing.
