"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the murderer among them all?"
Jane Marple solves the mystery when a local woman is poisoned and a visiting movie star seems to have been the intended victim.
What viewers say
Viewers who enjoy this Miss Marple film mostly come for its glamorous all-star cast, with the feuding screen-legend rivals stealing scenes, plus a nostalgic, old-fashioned whodunit feel and a satisfying final twist. The lead brings real spark to the sleuth when she's on screen. That's the most common complaint: an early injury sidelines her for much of the story, leaving the investigation to others. Viewers also find the pace slow, the setting stagey and the tone campy, and Christie fans may see the solution coming.
Best for: Viewers who love classic star-studded Christie adaptations and don't mind a leisurely pace.
