FISHCAKE Review of Miss Marple: They Do It with Mirrors

Miss Marple: They Do It with Mirrors (1991 TV Movie)

Very like Dame Agatha, but hard to follow the plot

[7/10 · 15 March 2001]

This version tries to bring Christie's story accurately, but the editing is so choppy the details of plot are often hard to follow. Not to worry, though, intuitively if not deductively, you'll spot the murderer without much trouble. Good cast, especially Jean Simmons, and great scenery make it a pleasant watch. Joan Hickman, though, as Miss Marple just didn't quite cut it for me.
