As far as I'm concerned, the whole effect was ruined by the scene of Miss Marple smoking a cigarette. I've read the books, and that is a serious deviance from the original character.
The stair scene was awful. In the book there were about 5 of them coming up the stairs, in this movie there was only one.
I also thought that the relationship between Lola and Jason was overplayed.
Overall, I have to say that I liked the earlier show with Joan Hickson much better. She was a much better Miss Marple, in fact... she's the perfect Miss Marple.
