Movie / Show Details

Agatha Christie’s beloved amateur detective Miss Marple takes center stage in this collection of three BBC television mysteries from 1985. Joan Hickson stars as the sharp-eyed elderly sleuth who uncovers crucial details that escape professional investigators. The Body in the Library finds a mysterious corpse in a country estate, A Murder Is Announced turns a parlor game into a deadly affair, and A Pocketful of Rye uses a nursery rhyme as the framework for a series of poisonings. Director Guy Slater and writer T.R. Bowen craft these classic British crime dramas with intricate plotting and clever misdirection, supported by a cast including Timothy West and Fabia Drake.

This DVD set contains all three feature-length mysteries across three discs, with a combined runtime of one hour and fifty minutes and a not-rated designation.
