When Agatha Christie created the spinster detective Jane Marple, she could never have pictured Rutherford playing the role on film.
Leaving aside Rutherfords distance from the written charecter, she does bring a wonderful quality to this film and the others in the series.
Playing opposite her real life husband, Stringer Davies, and with great support from Charles Tingwell, she sets out to prove that a miscarriage of justice is being perpetrated.
This brings her into contact with the Cosgood Players, run by Driffield Cosgood (Ron Moody).
Typically with Christie, the plot is not always fathomable, but the denouement is entertaining.
This film is good fun and Rutherford is hilarious as she gurns her way through the story.
