![]() The cast list was amazing and…well, it was Agatha Christie, so of course, I watched. Not only did this 1980’s production feature Angela Lansbury, but Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, Tony Curtis, Kim Novak and Pierce Brosnan. However, the cast for the movie was amazing. ![]() ![]() ![]() Despite my appreciation of Angela Lansbury’s acting ability, I must admit that she wasn’t exactly the first actress I thought of for the role as Miss Marple. Pollifax by Dorothy Gilman (if you haven’t read this series, I highly recommend it). I am a big Angela Lansbury fan, especially in her role as Jessica Fletcher in Murder, She Wrote. However, I was prepared to enjoy a different rendition and sat down to enjoy the performances. She fits not only the description in the books, but her portrayal of the spinster sleuth seems bang on, IMHO. Joan Hickson not only portrayed the character of Miss Marple, but she IS Miss Marple. Recently, I had the pleasure of watching two accomplished actresses play the role of Miss Marple and thought this deserved an in-depth analysis.įirst, let me say that I went into the viewing of these movies with a bias. Whenever I get to see an Agatha Christie movie that I haven’t seen before, it definitely catches my attention. ![]() So imagine my surprise when Britbox advertised a rendition of the The Mirror Crack’d featuring Angela Lansbury as Miss Jane Marple. I thought I had seen every Agatha Christie movie ever made. ![]()
