I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

This is How Movies Should Be Made

Great Film overall

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Never believe an old lady who seems inoffensive and brittle if not endangered. The nicest and fairest mug can hide the worst and sneakiest criminal. But not in the eyes of Miss Marple because she sees with her brain and not with her sole eyes or sole heart. The story is fairly crooked enough to hold you till the end and all along it points at some possible culprits, some of them being pure liars, and yet it is not what you may think. The best liars are always those who do not tell lies, aren't they? But Miss Marple will use her ocular scalpel and dissect these true lies to reveal the lie in the truth like the worm in the fruit. She is a darling old lady but do not try to fool her and in this case one tried and too many others did not realize they were trying. A few rulers will fall on a few knuckles. Fascinatingly thrilling, though charmingly slow except at the speedy Gonzalez end.Dr Jacques COULARDEAU, University Paris 1 Pantheon Sorbonne, University Paris 8 Saint Denis, University Paris 12 Créteil, CEGID

It's a great mystery, good characters and a pretty good script. Joan Hickson is definitely the most credible of all the Miss Marples and she really brings the character to life. I liked most of the three episodes and the only question I have is this: Couldn't the BBC find any heterosexual actors to play the heterosexual roles??? Watching most of the male supporting cast lisp and wriggle their way thru the scenes was at times excruciating. Given society's current infatuation with those of us who just have to be our mothers or fathers regardless of physical gender, I could understand a casting slip here or there, but for every male romantic lead to be wildly and clumsily gay was just too much. I needed to sit thru every scene to enjoy the wonderful plotting but my respect for the production dropped with every arched eyebrow and unconvincing smile. Would the BBC cast a drag queen as Mike Hammer or an albino as Mahatma Gandhi? Probably. Otherwise a great mystery well adapted for TV and well produced.

Spoilers herein.Christie is all about the game, the game for control over an abstract field where the narrator lives, the person that creates the world. Within this, she often places people who are doing the same. These are people who are bending the world around them, wresting with truth as it turns out.The BBC is about something altogether. No challenge, just simple, digestible pleasures in the form of interesting faces and places. They have a habit of swapping the creative team so that so that none of these Marple mysteries has the same director or adapter. The result is that though apparently similar, they are in fact amazingly diverse, almost a lesson in elementary filmmaking.Christie's device here is also her clue. That's the way she often worked. Here, it is a matter of the definition of sisterhood. We have the two rough lesbians, and (apparently) the two subliminal ones. We have the twin sisters separated at birth and the sisters whose revelation is the crux. We even have twin lamps and twin romances.(As with most of her books, we have a writer in the action.)Christie plus BBC in this case means exaggeration of the characters so that they are no longer possible schemers, instead obvious fictions. Quite apart from Christie's carefully woven plot, we know who the villain is because she is the only one not portrayed ridiculously.These should never have been made. The intent of the BBC is just too far from Christie's.But. But, dear reader, there is a performance so charming it rivets. Samantha Bond isn't a great actress, but she does understand what is going on in this BBC/Christie clash. She places herself where Christie would be: both participant and commenting observer at the same time. For some interesting reason, hidden in film history, redheads can do this with more ease on the screen. I'm digging into this.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.

I really loved this adaptation. I felt it stuck closely to the book and it was well casted. I initially hesitated to see this version after being extremely dissapointed with "Ten Little Indians/And then there were none.Rent it - I think you wont be disappointed either
