A year after winning the best supporting actress Oscar for the memorable "The VIP's," Margaret Rutherford returned to portraying the memorable maiden sleuth, Jane Marple. Rutherford was an absolute joy to watch. Her facial expressions and sunken chin made her perfect to play this female crime investigator.
The problem with the film is basically in its writing. Marple manages to get a hung jury with a mistrial declared in the mysterious death of a woman.
She then joins the troupe of actors where the victim had been involved. Ron Moody, so memorable as Fagin, 4 years later in "Oliver!," plays the head of the group.
Miss Marple leaves nothing unturned in her attempt to find the culprit of the crime. It just isn't a very interesting film.
