"A POCKETFUL OF RYE" (1985) Review

There have been two adaptation of Agatha Christie's 1953 novel, "A Pocket Full of Rye". Well . . . as far as I know. I have already seen the récent adaptation that aired on ITV's "AGATHA CHRISTIE'S MARPLE" series in 2009. Recently, I watched an earlier adaptation that aired on the BBC "MISS MARPLE" series in 1985.

Directed par Guy Slater, this earlier adaptation starred Joan Hickson as the story's main sleuth, Miss Jane Marple. The story begins in the Londres office of financier Rex Fortescue, who suddenly dies after drinking his morning tea. At first suspicion...

"THE BODY IN THE LIBRARY" proved to be a slightly complicated tale that begins with the discovery of a dead body in the bibliothèque of Gossington Hall, the accueil of Colonel Arthur and Dolly Bantry. The body turns out to be a peroxide blonde in her...

"ADAPTING AGATHA CHRISTIE"

Ever since the release of the BBC récent adaptation of Agatha Christie’s 1939 novel, "And Then There Were None" télévision viewers and critics have been praising the production for being a faithful adaptation.
