Sad news, Angela Lansbury has passed away at age 96. Rest in peace.
Hello Bruce,
About Miss Marple, a cousin of Jessica Fletcher, from Agatha Christies, do you know this british actress who plaid Miss Marple in the 1960 Whose name was Miss Margaret RUTHERFORD , I think some of her films were on the market U S.
She plaid the part five or six Times and When it réissued in Paris in the 70 I went to see them.
And of course she was exactly and old british lady with a cup of tea and some sweet at five o clock in the afternoon and a murder for the breakfast to résolve with that kind of british humour.
Have à Nice day
Bye
Pierre
Margaret Rutherford was so great as Miss Marple! My favorite is MURDER AT THE GALLOP, where she is simply great, cute and sweet flirting with Robert Morley while solving the case. And the wonderful Flora Robson was also present! Rutherford was also very good in many others, mostly british comedies. Her Madame Arcati in Blithe Spirit is unforgettable.
Have a good weekend!
Hello Lupino

Good night

Hey Lupino…..Murder at the Gallop is actually one of the movies at my local library….I will see if I can get that one the next time I go there. Thanks for the thoughts on Ms. Rutherford. Good stuff.
It is very hot in the states as well….yesterday I got in my car and the car temperature was reading 110F when I started…got down to 98F when the air conditioning got going.
Hey Pierre. My local library actually has many of those Margaret Rutherford movies sitting on their DVD shelves. I will have to check one of them out. Pretty sure those movies are some of Flora’s favorites. Thanks for the information. You have a great day too.
