	Miss Marple - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Likewise, it is Miss Marple herself who poses as a maid to find out the facts of the case, not a young friend of hers who has made a business of it.

	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 --- 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 Agatha Christie Miss Marple Movie Collection
		Miss Marple witnesses a killing on a passing train from her own train cabin.
		Rutherford's Marple is a hands-on kind of sleuth, always going undercover and prowling around with a flashlight, but however tenacious she might be, she is also pretty anxious about the fact that the murderer always ends up trying to kill her, too.
		Is this funny old gentleman who Miss Marple alludes to when she tells a suitor that if she ever were to marry, "there is someone else?" The makers of these films serve their series well by giving Miss Marple and the select few reoccurring characters plenty of screen time.

		Joan Hickson is at her peak in her portrayal of Agatha Christie's amateur detective character Miss Jane Marple.
		The title "Nemesis" is the key to the way in which the character is presented: Miss Marple, despite her appearance as a rather confused spinster, is in fact, a relentless avenger of a long-forgotten murder.
		Hickson depicts Miss Marple as an unyielding force; far from the doddering old lady she might seem on the surface.

		Originally airing on TV in the 1980s, the BBC's adaptations of Agatha Christie's twelve Miss Marple novels featured Joan Hickson in the title role; quickly establishing her as the quintessential Miss Marple even in the view of the grandmother (or rather, grand-aunt) of all village sleuths and "noticing kinds of persons"'s creator, Dame Agatha herself.

	Miss Marple on DVD reviewed on AudioRevolution.com
		Hickson actually was in "Murder She Said" (1961), the first of the Miss Marple movie series starring Margaret Rutherford as a hardly true-to-Christie but still very entertaining Miss Marple.
		Hickson is a very good Miss Marple, the elderly spinster from St. Mary Mead, a small (fictional) town in southwestern England.
		Most police officials who know Miss Marple are delighted with her, but Slack is frustrated and exasperated by turns; he came back in four more Miss Marple episodes, and was always an excellent foil for Joan Hickson.

		About halfway through "Miss Marple," the realization struck that this was a dramatic series starring an old woman, something about as apt to be witnessed on American television as Sean Hannity criticizing the Bush administration.
		How wicked," Miss Marple muses, a twinkle in her eye, when the answer finally dawns on her.
		Although probably most closely associated with Margaret Rutherford, who played Miss Marple in the 1960s, the septuagenarian McEwan -- an accomplished stage actress -- puts her stamp on the part, and the premiere humanizes the character further with melancholy flashbacks to her youth.

		Und Joan Hickson war DIE Miss Marple: Alt, aber immer noch aufrecht gehend, mit gÃ¼tigen porzellanblauen Augen, stets in rosa Wolle gehÃ¼llt, scheinbar konfus bis zum UntertrÃ¤glichen und doch eine scharfe Beobachterin der menschlichen Natur, was es ihr erlaubte, durch das Ziehen erstaunlicher Parallelen einen MÃ¶rder zu Ã¼berfÃ¼hren.
		Ich vermag nicht zu beurteilen, ob es ihre eigene Definition von Miss Marple ist oder ob ihr die Regie dies aufgebrummt hat, aber sie versucht die Optik der von Joan Hickson verkÃ¶rperten Miss Marple mit der Komik und Tatendurstigkeit von Margaret Rutherford aus den 60er-Jahre-KomÃ¶dien zu vereinen, und das passt einfach nicht zusammen.
		Joan Hickson bleibt als Miss Marple natÃ¼rlich unerreicht und manche Christie-Fans werden sich an zum Teil erheblichen Ãnderungen der Romanvorlagen stÃ¶ren.

		Four Marple mysteries are being adapted and presented in two hourlong installments each, with Geraldine McEwan bringing a sprightly, almost impish quality to Agatha Christie's titular creation, the grandmotherly figure with a gift for solving homicides.
		Personally, Marple has never held quite the same allure as other famed literary detectives, though at least it's easier to spell than Hercule Poirot.
		"Miss Marple" likely won't be a smash within the 18-to-49 demo, and there's even an amusing reference to how much "old fogies" enjoy a good murder in the second adaptation, "A Murder Is Announced." (The other cases are "The Body in the Library" and "What Mrs.
