		From 1985 to 1992, Hickson filmed all twelve of the Miss Marple novels in a series which was seen in more than 40 countries around the world.

		as a gossiping old acquaintance of Miss Marple's, has an uncharacteristic action climax in which a villain tries to escape, but also cleverly highlights the trap of easy nostalgia, an accusation that was occasionally levelled at the series.
		's sedate Miss Marple stories either for film or TV proved highly elusive, unlike some of those made from the author's more dynamic and densely plotted Poirot adventures.
		Miss Jane Marple, an aged spinster from the village of St Mary Mead, uses her intuition and knowledge of human nature to solve crimes in 1950s Britain.

	Encyclopedia: Miss Marple
		There was a long-running and popular BBC TV series in the 1980s with Joan Hickson as Miss Marple, which dramatised many of the original books.
		Miss Marple is able to solve difficult crimes not only because of her shrewd intelligence, but because St. Mary Mead, over her lifetime, has put on a pageant of human depravity rivaled only by that of Sodom and Gomorrah.
		Miss Marple was based on Christie's own grandmother, a pleasant woman who nevertheless, according to Christie, "expected the worst of everyone and everything" and was usually right.

	The Mirror Crack'd DVD review on AudioRevolution.com
		That was an entry in the excellent Miss Marple TV series starring Joan Hickson, who is the next-to-the-best Miss Marple of all time.
		Clearly, they hoped to do the same with Christie's other famous "detective," Miss Jane Marple, elderly spinster of the village St. Mary's Mead, who usually solved murders by comparing the activities of the people in question to the residents of her home town.
		Furthermore, as entertaining an actress as she generally is, Angela Lansbury was altogether the wrong person to play Jane Marple.

	John Gushue . . . Dot Dot Dot
		Perhaps this is because many film and TV adaptations (including the still-running Poirot series with David Suchet) pick the 1930s for the backdrop.
		I was curious to see the most recent Miss Marple series move the novels to the early 1950s, and play up (and in at least one case invent) more salacious aspects, a la the pulp fiction of the period.

	Where Eagles Dare / Operation Crossbow: Music composed orchestrated and conducted by Ron Goodwin: Film Music on the Web CD Reviews February 2004
		Indeed, with other gems such as the 'Miss Marple Theme' ('Murder at the Gallop' from the 60's features, not the 80's TV series), Frenzy and The Trap (now known as the music from the London Marathon) Goodwin may well be second only John Barry as Britain's master of theme tunes.
		The 1968 WWII film Where Eagles Dare is the model of a no-nonsense military adventure, with Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood leading an Allied rescue mission into an impregnable German fortress high atop a mountain.
		The complete underscore to Where Eagles Dare comprises disc one of this release -- the first-ever release of the film soundtrack, as the LP was a re-recording.

	The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes
		Joanna David, who stars as Susan Cushing, is a veteran of TV mysteries like the Miss Marple series and A Touch of Frost, and she more than holds her own against the commanding presence of Brett in one of his final performances.
		A couple of the stories in The Memoirs are a little melodramatic to start with, and the directors' choice of exactly how to juxtapose the past and the present, heightens the overly exotic nature of the stories.
		Holmes uses this hint as a cue to open a window into a mysterious tale which takes us back to war-ravaged Russia.
