VHS Movie Reviews of Agatha Christie - Miss Marple Collection 1 - Boxed Set [VHS]
Movie Review: Miss Marple
Summary: 5 Stars
Joan Hickson will always be thee "Miss Marple" to me. The recent Miss Marple starring Geraldine McEwan pale in comparison for many reasons.Movie Review: MULTIPLE MARPLE MYSTERY MIXES
Summary: 4 Stars
I was familiar with all of these stories except Mirror
Crack'd From Side to Side. This is the only story I did not like.
The photography was awful and the script is unsettling. The director
is probably to blame for this . I liked all the rest very much.
My favorites were At Bertram's Hotel. Nice to see Marple's sleuthing
away from her little village and an array of interesting characters
keeps her busy. Also, The Moving Finger. This story involves a brother
and sister who are newcomers to the village. They are drawn into the story
without a clue. A nasty problem called poison pen letters are buzzing
like a mysterious bee hive that is stinging everyone. I won't give away
the rest. Buy it! Very entertaining.
Movie Review: THEY NEED TO ADD CAPTIONS
Summary: 5 Stars
I THOUGHT THE SERIES WAS AWESOME...EXCEPT...IT WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECT WITH CAPTIONS....IT IS SOMETIMES HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE SAYING...AND YOU CAN SOMETIMES MISS SOME CLUES....I THINK I WOULD RE PURCHASE THIS DVD IF THEY ADDED THEM.Movie Review: Marvellous Miss Marple.
Summary: 5 Stars
There have been many Miss Marples, throughout the time since Agatha Christie first fictionalised the character. Stage, films and television have all been vehicles for the portrayal of the elderly sleuth. Each of the actresses, portraying the venerable character, will have their champions of course. In my time, there have been three main portrayals of Christie's competent and cognitive character. Margaret Rutherford played a slightly 'dotty' version excellently. Lately, we have had Geraldine McEwan playing the part superbly well. However, my favourite has always been Joan Hickson's portrayal. Hickson manages, excellently, to maintain the elderly and slightly uncertain character that I feel Christie intended. However, her occasional dithering doesn't deter her from displaying her devilishly sharp wits, when it comes to the 'crunch'! A true delight to view. The Series is excellent value.Movie Review: Not only for mystery buffs
Summary: 5 Stars
This collection is not only for mystery buffs (although that is an added bonus), but for all who love to watch first-rate acting (solo and ensemble), perfect period touches, and experience a top drawer "British Invasion". A welcome addition to any DVD collection. My personal caveat: Stick to the Hickson portrayal of Marple. It is not only my opinion that she perfectly embodied the character,but Agatha Christie's as well.
And who am I to argue with the creator--particularly when I agree.
