There are several sets out on the market (as well as being available through rental places) that brought back memories of a time when you had to be seated in front of your television at the precise time the show was scheduled to begin if you wanted to watch a Miss Marple movie/episode. I read somewhere that Agatha Christie had actually said that Joan Hickson was the actress who best could play Miss Marple as she had written her. Joan Hickson portrays Miss Marple in such a manner that makes it totally believable when she is able to casually stay in the background while gleaning even more information than the police detectives. (I miss the days when A & E played these classic BBC shows, don’t you?) Hickson playing Miss Marple, there are now DVDs available for us to capture the true essence of Miss Marple. Fortunately for those of us who remember Ms. She has a quiet resolve about her… She is very proper, never excited, always observant. Who is Joan Hickson, and why would seeing her be a treat? For some, those who were teenagers or older in the 1980s, Joan Hickson will always be Miss Marple. And, as an added bonus, we are able to see Joan Hickson appear as the housekeeper in Murder, She Said! Margaret Rutherford was truly busy playing this feisty rendition of Jane. The Agatha Christie Miss Marple Collection includes Rutherford in the classics Murder, She Said, Murder at the Gallop, Murder Most Foul, and Murder Ahoy.
Once I got over my initial shock (for truly that is what it was!) I was delighted by these early 1960s movie productions. You will most likely by tempted to think of her as “Jane” instead of “Miss Marple.”Īt first, I was quite put off by Ms. That will change if you are able to see Margaret Rutherford’s portrayal of Miss Marple.
Ordinarily, you probably don’t think of Miss Marple as funny.
