My Current Interest

Here it is. The final film where Margaret Rutherford stars as Miss Marple. By the time I watched Murder Most Foul , I have to admit, I had gone a little batty with the theme song of these four movies. The same happens with Agatha Christie’s Poirot . Still, I am sad to be done with Margaret Rutherford as Miss Marple. Miss Marple disrupts a jury Margaret McGinty is dead. She was found hanging, and the police are certain they know exactly who killed her. The police found a man at the scene, Harold Taylor. He was caught with his hands on the rope. So, he has to be guilty, right? Not everyone thinks Taylor is a guilty man. What seems to be an open and shut case ends with a hung jury (that is not meant to be a play on words, I promise). While eleven vote guilty, there is one who will not be swayed to do so. That person is Miss Marple (Margaret Rutherford). No one is happy about the hung jury which leads to a mistrial. This displeasure does not bother Miss Marple one bit. She knows

Some shows struggle with their second season. I am happy to say, Whitstable Pearl is not one of those shows. The characters and storylines this second season have more depth than they did in the first. We learn so much more about why the characters are the way they are, and we get to see more sides of them. This makes me very eager to see how much more we will learn in the third season, if there is one. “Babylon” Pearl and Mike have moved on from their relationship, or have they? Private investigator and restaurant owner Pearl Nolan (Kerry Godliman) has moved on from her relationship with DCI Mike McGuire (Howard Charles). She is dating a teacher, Tom Grant (Robert Webb). Mike has moved on too. He is dating a woman he met at grief counseling, Kat Bergman (Emily Head). Now the question is, have these two actually moved on, or are they just pretending to have done so? Because when they look for a missing boy, it is clear there are some unresolved feelings between Pearl and Mik

There’s something funny about Dial M for Murder . For some reason there is one scene where I zone out every time. This scene has important information in it, so it is probably not the best time for my mind to wander. However, that is what happens each and every time. Yet, the rest of the film I pay attention to. I wonder what it is about that one part. Margot is in a love triangle Margot Wendice (Grace Kelly) has a secret. She is married to her husband, Tony Wendice (Ray Milland), but is in love with writer Mark Halliday (Robert Cummings). Her and Mark’s relationship has gone so far that Margot even carries a love letter from him around in her purse. Or at least she did. Her purse was stolen one day. When her purse was found and returned, the letter was missing. The day Mark comes to town, Margot tells him about the missing letter. They also discuss if they believe Tony knows about them. Whether Tony does or not, they both know they must act as natural as possible. Tony arrives

It is official. Eliza Scarlet and William “Duke” Wellington should not get together. They want such different things in life. At least they believe they do. “The Vanishing” A magician goes missing Private investigator Eliza Scarlet (Kate Phillips) needs publicity to help drum up business. She agrees to team up with the questionable journalist Basil Sinclaire (Oliver Chris). In exchange for her investigating a missing magician, Sinclaire will write articles about her, promoting her skills. This agreement does not go over well with Detective Inspector William Wellington (Stuart Martin). After some confidential information was revealed to the public, William does not look at any cooperation with journalists in a positive light. He particularly does not care for Sinclaire. To put a stop to the leaks, William tells his fellow detectives they may not talk to any journalists. This causes problems for the young Detective Oliver Fitzroy (Evan McCabe). He sees another detective, Det
