The Agatha Christie Hour: Magnolia Blossom (1982)
Season 1, Episode 6
9/10
Enjoyale Episode for Many Reasons
8 June 2014
Setting the sound stage element aside, I found this a well produced episode. It took me a while, but I caught up with Jeremy Clyde as being the "Jeremy" of "Chad and Jeremy" of bygone days. Kudos to him for his development as an actor. I would now like to see him in other things. Along these lines, I looked up Madden who reminded me of a character I saw in an AC, Miss Marple episode, "The Body in the Library," Joan Hickson version, of course, (All others come across as quite spurious, alas). In that she was an entirely different character, but the fine facial bone structure is the prompt on the resemblance.

Getting beyond the ineptness of the "lover's" responses in the love scenes, this was a good depiction of a faithful and neglected wife coming into her own, but according to her own historical principles.

Well produced, casted (alas for the lover figure, Bates, was it?) and played. Recommend.
