After watching the BBC adaptations of Miss Marple with Joan Hickson these earlier film versions with Margaret Rutherford seems a world away. I could never envision Miss Hickson doing the twist.
Murder at the Gallop is based on an Agatha Christie book featuring Hercule Poirot but it has a good cast which includes Flora Robson and Robert Morley.
Miss Marple raising money for a charitable cause stumbles on to the death of a wealthy Mr Endeby (Finlay Currie) whom she believes was murdered and she suspects members of his family who stand to gain from the deceased's will who all seem to have some sort of a motive and also dislike each other.
The plot moves at a nifty pace but it all looks rather silly. Its definitely not Miss Marple.
