Miss Marple: The Body in the Library (1984)
Agree with others.Far superior to Geraldene McEwan
This gem is indeed far superior to the Geraldine McEwan version. Although it is a very good attempt and the supporting cast are superb,the period detail very good and is faithful to the book, Miss McEwan just does not have the x factor for Miss Marple. In fact with the contrived voice and the gestures she tries just that bit too hard to achieve what Joan Hickson did with so much ease.
I understand that so far only four of the series have been re-filmed out of a total of twelve, and I am sure that out of the available Miss Marple contenders. i.e. Angela Lansbury, Helen Hayes, Maragret Rutherford,Joan Hickson and Geraldene McEwan it will be found that Miss Hickson is the definitive.
Smashing Time (1967)
not to be taken seroiusly
This film is just a very fluffy,very enjoyable piece of fun. it was never meant to be taken as a great work of art, or seriously for that matter. just enjoy it for what it is.A smashing time.
