	Miss Marple
		Miss Marple, the spinster detective who is one of the most famous characters created by English crime writer Agatha Christie, has been portrayed by a variety of actresses in films and television.
		Thus, the BBC's Miss Marple does not chase the villains herself as Margaret Rutherford does in her films, nor are the titles of the books altered to make them more sensational (the novel After the Funeral had been made into the 1963 film, Murder at the Gallop, for example).
		Miss Marple is the model of decorum, not only just and good, but also polite and correct.

	Miss Marple - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jane Marple, usually known as Miss Marple, is a fictional character appearing in many Agatha Christie novels.
		Miss Marple's nephew, the "well-known author" Raymond West and his wife Joan (who first appeared as Joyce), a modern artist, were introduced in 1933 in The Thirteen Problems.
		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 --- www.agathachristie.com the official Agatha Christie website
		In appearance, Miss Marple is a tall, thin woman with a pink, wrinkled face, pale blue eyes and snowy white hair which she wears piled upon her head in an old-fashioned manner.
		When she created Miss Marple, Agatha said that she did not expect that she would continue writing about her for the rest of her life but from the moment that this “typical old maid of fiction” made her first appearance, Christie’s readers were hooked.
		Miss Marple appeared in a total of twelve novels and 20 short stories and celebrated her 75th anniversary in 2005.

	DVD Verdict Review - The Mirror Crack'd
		Miss Jane Marple is delighted to find that her picturesque English village is to be the sight of a movie shoot featuring a couple of glamorous Hollywood actresses, Marina Rudd and Lola Brewster.
		Her Jane Marple in The Mirror Crack'd should be the glue that holds the whole thing together, but she doesn't really manage to create any sort of memorable character out of the role.
		One can see the beginnings of Jessica Fletcher in the Marple role and she gradually made that character believable, but The Mirror Crack'd suffers because one has to see Miss Marple as a comfortable old shoe, so to speak, and Lansbury was not yet relaxed in such a role.

		Also, as another reviewer has reminded us, Miss Marple was the ultimate spinster and only had one small "fling" when young, which was maternally cut short.
		It was considerably short of that, and one is left to wonder why this re-make was ever produced, and with all due respect to Geraldine McEwan, magnificent actress though she is, the late Joan Hickson still reigns supreme as Jane Marple.

		So Miss Marple soon finds herself on an unexpected Historic Homes and Gardens coach tour; accompanied by her nephew Lionel (Peter Tilbury), who is seeking refuge with dear Aunt Jane after having been locked out by his wife.
		For old Jason has spoken of justice for a reason and, as Miss Marple later explains, "he wasn't being entirely humourous" when dubbing her "Nemesis." Indeed, he is relying not only on her "flair for evil" but, as importantly, on the fact that she will not "flinch" should she find out that Michael is guilty.
		And Miss Marple soon realizes that the central clue to unmasking the young woman's murderer is love: Verity wasn't killed for her beauty, superior intelligence or money (none of which she possessed) - but, simply, because she was loved.
