During a murder trial, of the jury only Miss Jane Marple believes in the accused. Against the odds, she sets out to discover the truth - who really killed Mrs. McGinty?
A daft riff on Christie's 'Mrs. McGinty's Dead' with Rutherford gurning and twitching her way through the loopy proceedings, sweetly supported by her real-life partner Stringer Davis. Delicious early 60's production, replete with glorious supporting cast, seedy setting and a taste of the pantomime throughout. Fascinating to see a few faces at the beginning of their careers (Annis, Bolam, Scott, Windsor Davies) as well as British film stalwarts Jenkins, Price, Cruickshank, Moody (as hammy as it gets)... Rutherford is a riot, especially when reciting a poem for her audition.
