Joan Hickson appears in 1961 Murder She Said

I love that the next famous #MissMarple is a low level domestic in #MurderSheSaid! Such a fun connection! #TCMParty

On this Hallow’s Eve, I crave quirky, stylised, British murder mysteries, so I’m watching #MurderSheSaid with the delightful international treasure known as Dame Margaret Rutherford! 🚂 #TCMParty

Arthur Kennedy is a gem.

Here's what I never figured out about this movie. How is it supposed to be believable that someone killed a woman on a train in time to throw the body off the train onto their property just as they're passing it. #MurderSheSaid #TCMParty

And speaking of jaunty music... #MurderSheSaid

Margaret Rutherford is charming as Miss Marple...but Joan Hickson IS Miss Marple. She balanced the scatty old lady and the observational detective perfectly.

#nowwatching📺 #MurderSheSaid When Miss Jane Marple reports witnessing a murder through the window of a passing train, the police dismiss her as a dotty spinster when no trace of the crime can be found. #MissMarple

Been developing some character designs, one of which is an older lady. Requires looking at a lot of reference material. Oh, look, here’s Margaret Rutherford!
How handy!

For those who don’t know, Marple’s MALE sidekick, Mr. Stringer, is played by Margaret Rutherford’s irl husband, Jim Stringer. Their on screen relationship & chemistry is another reason Rutherford’s Marple is revolutionary. Mr. Stringer was created for the movies. #MurderSheSaid #tcmparty

An elderly spinster, trained in domestic work and conversant in social etiquette, can go just about anywhere and do anything in English society. Combine this with keen intelligence, powers of observation, and deductive reasoning, and you have a perfect mid century sleuth. #MurderSheSaid #tcmparty

I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say Rutherford’s Marple is basically Batman as a large old spinster. She can do almost anything, and is game for anything, and I think it makes her one of the more revolutionary women film characters of the 20th century. #MurderSheSaid #tcmparty

I gather that the Miss Marple of Christie’s novels is a quiet, slight, almost mousy sort, and the fact that no one pays her any mind works to her advantage. Dame Rutherford’s Marple is large & voluble, omni-competent, which makes her a much more interesting movie character. #MurderSheSaid #tcmparty

This is a new one for me and I’m diggin it

And the meeting:
The cinema Miss Marple and the definitive Miss Marple.
