She finds the holiday a bit of a bore and nowhere near as interesting as life in St. Mary Mead. Things get a bit more interesting when one of the guests, the elderly Major Palgrave, is found dead. The death is put down to natural causes until one of the maids finds medication belonging to another guest in the late major’s room. When the maid is also found dead it is clear that the Major’s oft-repeated tale of knowing a murderer – he was in the colonial police after leaving the army – convinces Miss Marple that the murderer is someone at the hotel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSTARS:  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0382995\/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t1\"\u003eJoan Hickson, \u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000587\/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t2\"\u003eDonald Pleasence \u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0525702\/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t3\"\u003eAdrian Lukis \u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0382995\/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Polaris-Text--root Polaris-Text--bodyMd Polaris-Text--semibold\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e92 min | Crime, Drama, Mystery | 1989 | Color\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMovies with low demand and\/or out of print are manufactured-to-order using high quality recordable DVDs.

Everything works together, the acting, the locations, the music, the subtle changes to the book. To make what is in my humble opinion a wonderful piece of drama, Joan Hickson is as always incredibly good in the role. Superior in every way to the inferior Helen Hayes version, Adrian Lukis and the gorgeous Sophie Ward are superb, and the closing scene between them is superbly acted and gripping. It would be really interesting to see if ITV can produce something as good as this when it comes around to it, will also be interesting to see who will be starring as Miss Marple. Sit back and enjoy this wonderful drama.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e“By far and away the best adaptation of Christie’s novel.”\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"display-name-date\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"review-date\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text show-more__control\"\u003eMiss Marple is enjoying a holiday in Barbados recovering from a recent illness. However, an ex colonial police officer called Major Palgrave (Frank Middlemass), boasts to Miss Marple about a murder story and takes a photograph out of his wallet which apparently has a murderer’s face on it. However, he suddenly sees that person and quickly puts the photograph back into his wallet. Miss Marple didn’t take it very seriously at the time but when Major Palgrave is found dead the next morning, she wishes she had when more murders follow.\n\u003cp\u003eBy far and a way the best version of Christie’s whodunit. It was filmed in Hollywood in 1983 as a lack lustre TV movie starring Helen Hayes as Miss Marple and was saddled with an indifferent script. This BBC production is lengthy, but there is more attention to detail and a first rate cast including Donald Pleasance, Frank Middlemass and not forgetting Hickson’s Miss Marple. All do fine work in their roles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"rareandcollectibledvds","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":43155326927096,"sku":"camys-1","price":17.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"DOWNLOAD","offer_id":43155326894328,"sku":"camys-2","price":14.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/3492\/7864\/products\/A-Caribbean-Mystery-rareandcollectibledvds-830.jpg?v=1670822037","url":"https:\/\/rareandcollectibledvds.com\/en-nz\/products\/a-caribbean-mystery-on-dvd-crime-joan-hickson-donald-pleasence","provider":"rareandcollectibledvds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
