Part of the Miss Marple Collection

Miss Marple is a fictional character in numerous crime novels and short stories by Agatha Christie. Jane Marple lives in the village of St. Mary Mead and acts as an amateur consulting detective. Often characterized as an elderly spinster, she is one of Christie's best-known characters. And yet she had to wait thirty-one years after her first appearance in print in 1930 to appear on the big-screen for the first time. Murder, She Said (1961) was the first in a sequence of films directed by George Pollock and starring Margaret Rutherford as Jane Marple. This was followed by Murder at the Gallop in 1963, Murder Most Foul in 1964, and Murder Ahoy also in 1964.

Written on June 1, 2024

The first of the four films Margaret Rutherford was to make portraying Agatha Christie's dotty old "Miss Marple" who had a nose for detective work. Here she looks out of the window as she travels home on her train to witness a woman being strangled on a train passing in the other direction. She reports this to the authorities but they prove sceptical and so she duly sets off to track down the assailant with the help of her not-so-sturdy sidekick "Mr. Stringer" (Stringer Davis). Arthur Kennedy, Muriel Pavlow, a perfectly curmudgeonly James Robertson Justice and en engagingly smart-alec effort from the young Ronnie Raymond are her foils in this simple, engaging, murder-mystery with a twist. Who would dare to put poison in her duck curry?
