4.50 From Paddington, When Miss Marple’s visiting friend sees a woman being strangled on a passing train, they immediately report it to the police. Inspector Slack sees Miss Marple as a bit of a busy body and drops the investigation after only a few days. Miss Marple however determines that there is only one spot along the line where a body could have been dumped and it happens to be very near the Crackenthorpe estate. She asks a professional housekeeper, Lucy Eyelesbarrow, to go there undercover as a domestic. She soon finds the dead woman’s body at which time the police take on a renewed interest but it is left to Miss Marple to solve the mystery

An authentic and high quality adaptation.

4.50 From Paddington, Whilst travelling by train to visit her friend Jane Marple, Elspeth McGillicuddy wakes from her slumber and witnesses a man strangling a woman on a passing train. With no other witnesses and no trace of a body the Police don’t believe her story, so Miss Marple engages Lucy Eyelesbarrow to help uncover the mystery.

It’s a very faithful, beautifully made version, production values are incredibly high. The music is lovely and melodic, it’s never invasive, it helps generate atmosphere.

Some totally iconic scenes too, the whole sequence of Lucy discovering the body is one of the most memorable bits of TV from my childhood. It’s beautifully filmed and the music is superb, it adds to the tension. The set and props are wonderful.

Beautifully acted, some wonderful performances, my favourite being Joanna David’s, she is superb as Emma, making her down trodden and meek, but wonderfully believable. Maurice Denham is wonderful as always, Jean Boht’s cameo as Madame Jolie. Jill Meager puts in a very good showing, but…….

One gripe I have with Lucy Eyelesbarrow, she has men falling at her feet, desperately in love with her, I’m so sorry to say it but with Jill Meager, I just don’t see it. With Amanda Holden’s character I get it. (Is that Bertram’s Hotel I spy for their first meeting?)

The ending is well staged. It seemed at the time like she was always using Somerset House.

It’s an excellent production, a little doddery in parts, but very faithful to the book. Hickson is excellent as always but somewhat takes a back seat in this one, she’s very much an observer.

Item received was not as described

Item received was not 'starring Helen Hayes' despite her picture being on the DVD, it was actually the version with Joan Hickson. I raised a complaint one week ago but still heard nothing in reply. Very poor customer service.

Wild in the Country

The movie was very good.

Easy access to magnificant old super-movie

Easy way to get to see an old magnificant movie with superstars. Delivered within 48 hours, downloaded in good quality few minutes with soundtrack in three languages.

Fantastic

Fantastic, thank you so much

i purchased this from you several months ago

i purchased this from you several months ago. Unfortunately I never saved it . i owned the dvd that i purchased about 20 years ago.and when my computer crashed lost it a second time. Anyone who buys a movie three times likes it. What you sold me is near DVD quality. Your competition sells it for three times what you charged because once again it's out of print. To boot when the charge three times the price the qualitty is poor. I OWN 10,000videos that took 40 years to acquire making purchases all over the world. I say this to emphasize that you are the only quality shop doing what you do so customers can have confidence when they buy from you. The only problem dealing with you is your supply is limited otherwise I would be our best customer. For the record this is a fact based story with fictionalized characters.

These copied burned movies not original It’sa shame

I have used the Rare & Collectables for a few year and find no problem with them. I mainly go for downloads instead of buying the movie.

10/10 service

Thanks so much. Great film.
