If it wasn't for that pesky old woman...

Murder, She Said (1961)

Based on the Agatha Christie novel “4.50 from Paddington” this is the first of several outings for Margaret Rutherford in the role of Miss Marple. An interfering old woman witnesses a murder and resolves to solve the case when the police do not believe her as they are unable to find a body.

It is hard to find a lot to say about this film one way or the other really. The film does not appear to take itself especially seriously which is probably a good thing as there is not much suspense and the actual mystery is not particularly original. This film just about suffices as a distraction for an hour and a half but is not much more than that.

3/5 light murder mystery
