“Queen of Crime” Agatha Christie was not only the world’s best-selling mystery writer, but the top-selling author of all time, her sales ranking behind only Shakespeare and The Bible. Many of her works were adapted to well over a hundred movies and TV plays starting in 1928. This 1980 Miss Jane Marple mystery was preceded by a series of popular Marple films featuring Margaret Rutherford, but here she’s played by Angela Lansbury in a dry run for her popular TV sleuth series "Murder She Wrote."
