She becomes convinced that the real murderer is a member of a local theatrical troupe, so she joins them in order to gather information. The clues lead back many years to a single disastrously unsuccessful 1951 performance of a dreadful play written by the group’s hammy director, H. Driffold Cosgood (Ron Moody). Although at that time, several of the current cast members were only children, more murders follow before Miss Marple ultimately exposes the killer.
Plot: A murderer is brought to court and only Miss Marple is unconvinced of his innocence. Once again she begins her own investigation.

Murder Most Fun
When Agatha Christie created the spinster detective Jane Marple, she could never have pictured Rutherford playing the role on film.Leaving aside Rutherfords distance from the written charecter, she does bring a wonderful quality to this film and the others in the series.
Playing opposite her real life husband, Stringer Davies, and with great support from Charles Tingwell, she sets out to prove that a miscarriage of justice is being perpetrated.
This brings her into contact with the Cosgood Players, run by Driffield Cosgood (Ron Moody).
Typically with Christie, the plot is not always fathomable, but the denouement is entertaining.
This film is good fun and Rutherford is hilarious as she gurns her way through the story.
Classic murder mystery
A classic murder mystery, based on the Agatha Christie novel “Mrs McGinty’s dead”.Good set up, intriguing plot development, thrilling finale. You’re kept guessing until the last moment. Many red herrings, but not overdone.
Quite funny at times too, sometimes extremely so. There is a light- heartedness which runs throughout the movie (this is helped by the score), though this does not detract in any big way from the drama of the plot.
Margaret Rutherford is great, as always, in her role as Miss Marple. Good support from a cast that includes the Australian actor Charles Tingwell as Inspector Craddock.
