Although the evidence appears to be overwhelming in the strangulation murder of a blackmailer, Miss Marple's sole 'not guilty' vote hangs the jury 11-1. She becomes convinced that the real murderer is a member of a local theatrical troupe, so she joins them in order to gather information. The clues lead back many years to a single disastrously unsuccessful 1951 performance of a dreadful play written by the group's hammy director, H. Driffold Cosgood. Although at that time, several of the current cast members were only children, more murders follow before Miss Marple ultimately exposes the killer. A British film. Running time 90 minutes, based on Mrs. McGinty's Dead, the original story is a Poirot tale. The film's transformation of the protagonist into Miss Marple and the changes in the plot caused strong dissatisfaction from the original author Christie, and the film itself faced box office and critical failure. The lead actress Margaret Rutherford also starred in three other films featuring Miss Marple, one of which is also based on a Poirot story ("After the Funeral"), while the other is an original screenplay. Francesca Annis, who played Tuppence in several 1980s television series, also has a small role in this film.
