 To much Helen and not enough Jane September 16, 2001
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a decent movie and if there were nothing to compare it to, I would say a good adaptation from the book. I like all the actors. However this movie falls short of the one with Joan Hickson "Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, V. 1: A Caribbean Mystery (1989) "They sped up the pace of the movie and it looks like a baby crawling at 60 miles an hr. Jane is more actively figuring out the plot and really needs no other characters to think. This movie does however introduce you to Jason Rafiel who is the basis of "Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, V. 7: Nemesis (1986) If you are rich buy them both, if not then this is the one.
 Introducing Jason Rafiel September 14, 2001

This story introduces you to Jason Rafiel who will turn up again in "Agatha Christie's Miss Marple: "Nemesis" (1986).This was much better than the 1983 version with Helen Hayes. This version is fuller and closer to the book and closer to Jane Marple's character. I t was an intriguing touch to have the dead person's spirit supposed to come back after nine days to get revenge. You will want to view this movie several times to see how the plot could have gone. Later this movie will be like a friend and just need watching again.
