In the opening shots of the Savoy Hotel, numerous national flags are shown flying above the entrance. The Canadian Red Maple Leaf flag is clearly visible. Unfortunately, the time setting of the film predates the adoption of the Canadian flag in 1965. This time setting is borne out by a reference by one of the characters as claiming to be the son of a very important and busy man, Winston Churchill. Churchill died in February of 1965 and the Canadian flag was adopted later that same year. So if Churchill was alive and, a busy and important man, the Flag of Canada would have been a red ensign bearing the Canadian Shield not the red Maple Leaf Flag.

Good in terms of acting and quality, but disappointing as an adaptation

Although I really liked this, it is a disappointment after the delightful Murder Is Announced. Then again the book isn't Agatha Christie's best, although it's well written and perplexing, it is for me one of the weaker Marple books. There were several things I liked about the adaptation, one was the acting. Joan Hickson is a sheer delight as Miss Marple, and Faith Brook and Jean Simmons were very effective as Carrie-Louise and Ruth. Their end scene in particular was very poignant. Joss Ackland has a little less to do, but he turned in a solid performance. The adaptation is beautifully photographed, and the music is stunning. However, I had a real problem with the pace, the adaptation does start off very slowly, and never quite recovers. Out of the Joan Hickson adaptations, it is one of the least faithful ones. The elements that made the book perplexing were either left out or a tad underdeveloped. Consequently the plot is hard to follow and I will admit the final solution left me baffled. Overall, disappointing but well acted and beautifully filmed, so worth a look. 7/10 Bethany Cox
