The consummate prim and proper crime-fighting spinster Miss Jane Marple sets down her knitting needles to unwind the most ingenious crimes. As she travels from city to countryside and even the Bahamas murders missing bodies and haunted dreams have a habit of falling across Miss Marple s path--which is precisely when 'tail up and head down' the beloved aunt and godmother goes into action. Digitally re-mastered and faithfully adapted from Agatha Christie s best-selling novels THE CLASSIC MYSTERIES COLLECTION features Joan Hickson (Christie s personal choice to play the spinster sleuth) in over fifteen hours of suspense misdirection rich period detail and the cleverest solutions imaginable. DVD Features: Complete Index of all Miss Marple Stories; Agatha Christie Bio; Joan Hickson Biography/Filmography; Interactive Menus; Scene Selection System Requirements:Running Time 936 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: MYSTERY/SUSPENSE UPC: 733961747096 Manufacturer No: AAE-74709 Joan Hickson is the epitome of Agatha Christie's spinster sleuth in this DVD boxed set of nine Miss Marple movies from British television. 'Little grey-haired cobra,' mutters Detective Inspector Slack (David Horovitch), the hard-slogging policeman who finds himself humbled, again and again, by the frail woman's shrewd insight and dogged determination. Whether on a tropical island, in a grand hotel, or on a bus tour of historic sites, Miss Marple never fails to uncover the buried secrets, illicit affairs, tangled finances, and boorish Americans that abound in Agatha Christie's mysteries. Hickson is said to be Christie's own choice for the role (though when Christie told her this, Hickson was taken aback, as she was still fairly young at the time), and it's easy to see why: Hickson is physically unassuming, a perfect village busybody, yet her eyes contain a constant flicker of curiosity and keen intelligence. This set includes all but three of Hickson's outings as Miss Marple: A Caribbean Mystery, in which an old bore's death on an island resort sets the plot in motion; The Mirror Crack'd From Side to Side, which features an aging movie star and sumptuous marble bathrooms; in 4:50 from Paddington, the launch of Sputnik is accompanied by a strangling on a train; The Moving Finger begins with poison pen letters, but poison and bludgeonings soon follow; At Bertram's Hotel is one of the most unusual stories, as murder doesn't happen until more than 3/4 of the movie has unfolded, and the ending features a dynamic rooftop chase; Murder at the Vicarage, a definitive village mystery which finds Miss Marple solving a killing on her home turf; Nemesis, in which a wealthy old friend of Miss Marple's orchestrates, after his own death, the investigation of a murder long gone cold; Sleeping Murder, one of the best, starts out as more of a ghost story than a mystery and culminates in genuine suspense; and They Do It With Mirrors, in which misdirection--the cunning art upon which any murder mystery depends--is part of the plot itself. There are a few famous names sprinkled among the casts (among them Donald Pleasance, Halloween, Jean Simmons, Spartacus, and Joan Greenwood, The Importance of Being Earnest, who has one of the most wonderful voices in the history of British cinema), but these BBC dramas depend mostly on solid, enjoyable character actors--actors much like Hickson herself, who labored for decades in bit parts before finding her plum role. The compression necessary to turn a book into a movie sometimes makes sussing out the murderer simpler, but fans of the genre will still be delighted by Miss Marple's perceptive investigations. --Bret Fetzer Customers who bought this item also bought Miss Marple - 3 Feature Length Mysteries (The Body in the Library / A Murder Is Announced / A Pocketful of Rye) Poirot - Classic Crimes Collection (The Mystery of the Blue Train / After the Funeral / Cards on the Table / Taken at the Flood) Poirot - The New Mysteries Collection (Death on the Nile / Sad Cypress / The Hollow / Five Little Pigs) Agatha Christie's Poirot - The Classic Collection Poirot - The Complete Collection (Lord Edgeware Dies / The Murder of Roger Ackroyd / Evil Under the Sun / Murder in Mesopotamia) Customer Reviews for: Marple Classic Mysteries (Caribbean Mystery/4:50 from Paddington/Moving Finger/Nemesis/At Bertram's Hotel/Murder at Vicarage/Sleeping Murder/They Do It with Mirrors/Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side) Rating - As compared with newer series... These are longer than the series with Geraldine McEwan, with more detail. They are closer in accuracy to the books but they still changed some things, for example, adding the character of Superintendent Slack. The lower voices, particularly Joan Hickson's, make these movies somewhat harder to understand. The newer Miss Marple series is not as close to the books as far as accuracy, but is very entertaining, with snappy music, and dialogue that is easier to understand without straining or turning the volume up too ...

He is a large fan of Miss Marple and has really enjoyed them. I think he will keep me after 37 years of marriage. On scale of 1-10, we say a 10!!!!! Rating - Agatha at her best A perfect collection. Nice that they put 9 films on the 5 CDs. A very practical way to keep your collection together. The small thin Amoray cases makes it easy to use, save, keep available. I have the Nero Wolfe series, which I dearly love, but the cases are bigger--and you notice. A nice variety of her films too. Rating - Great transfer but for no subtitles I got the set from one of the resellers in good time and in the NEW quality as advertised. I just wish that somewhere in the reviews, someone would have mentioned that there are NO subtitles on the disks. Joan Hickson (Miss Marple) is one of my favorite actresses in this role, but she can be quite quiet and this makes it hard to hear what's she said, and this is irritating since it's usually one of the clues that is stumping Chief Inspector Slack. That's the only irritation I had with the set. All the episodes ... Read More Rating - Marple Classic Mysteries I believe the Joan Hickson portrayal of Miss Marple tops all the other women that have played the role. Great group of mysteries. see more reviews See all movies starring Joan Hickson, Paul Eddington, Cheryl Campbell, Robert Lang II, Polly Adams See all movies directed by Julian Amyes, David Tucker, Roy Boulting
