Storyline

Sleeping Murder, BBC TV adaption of the Agatha Christie’s novel. A young recently married woman, Gwenda Reed, comes back to England after living most of her life in New Zealand. While her husband, Giles, is out of the country she buys a house for them and starts recalling memories which make her start to think that perhaps she had lived in the house before. It’s only then, while dining out with friends, that a chance remark triggered off a frightening memory, as a little girl, looking down at a woman’s body and the murderer with “monkey paws” hands. Gwenda is determined to find out the sources of this memory. The killer, thought that he/she was safe after eighteen years and is prepared to kill to cover up the past. But Gwenda has help as one of her dining friends is Raymond West, who has a very special Aunt who is willing to help Gwenda – Miss Jane Marple.

Sleeping Murder, I love the film adaptations of Agatha Christie’s books starring Joan Hickson. You can’t help but love them for their purely English decorum and a certain primness, for their slowness and attention to detail. “Sleeping murder” is somewhat different from such classic films as” The Moving Finger” or “The Murder on Vicarage” because it is one of lady Agatha’s most terrifying stories. But at the same time, the film retains its slowness and true English atmosphere. I must admit that I was somewhat lacking in the disclosure of the characters of Gwenda and especially Giles, who turned out to be a rather gray character. Kennedy, of course, is excellent, played just brilliantly. The film itself is very atmospheric and brilliantly staged. The finale is just great, congratulations to the creators! In General, it is one of the best film adaptations with Joan Hickson in the title role.
