..I'm sooo addicted to these old classics ..is that normal ..

Loved it!! just cannot believe anyone tied up would have a long conversation instead of untying themselves and getting the hell out of there

Just love Francesca. She's so incredibly beautiful and such a wonderful actor. Loved those too in Partners in Crime.

I thoroughly enjoyed the three parts of this, thankyou. And Francesca Annis wore the most beautiful outfits, such a vision of class and loveliness. :)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Marvelous! Absolutely Wonderful Scenery, Actors, Costumes & of course the Intriguing Plot like none other than Agatha Christie could write!

Riding side-saddle on a motorbike? I love Agatha Christie. She creates the most brilliant upper-middle and lower-upper class characters from the '20s.

"That was me daughter. ... Come to think of it ... that was me car." Brilliant!

"Spot of trouble, is it?" What a wonderful understatement.

One of the best stories of Dame Christie

He: “Grim.” She: “Ghastly!”

Marvelous. Good story. Agatha Christie was always the best. Thank you for sharing.

So frightfully good, darling.... Thanks for posting

That Francesca Annis is always enchanting, and such a beauty!

Thank you for posting this. I remember the first broadcast. This was an enjoyable bit of camp at the time and still is. Perhaps too slow for modern tastes, but one used to sit down in front of the telly and wallow. It's still an enjoyable wallow. Sadly nowadays production values are poor, but back then things were much better, even down to the title music which was a lovely pastiche, perfectly setting the time and rounded off the programme.

thank you for this movie. I liked this version much better than the newer version.

Thank you for uploading this. I love Francesca Annis, always so gorgeous and sassy.

I love the yellow gown at 45:45; it's just stunning! I can't wear yellow myself but might make an exception for a gown like this!

So good falling into another world .

Absolutely splednid. Best Agatha Christie's adaptation by far, imo. Whole world of her books unfolds before our eyes with all the details, colorfulness and passion; you just can't resist to jump in. Great cast and scenograpy. Postcard form better times.

One of the rare moments in Agatha Christie's canon when she lets the murderer walk away from the gallows - and what a stroke of genius is that! That's what makes this story more interesting . Yes, the guilty must be punished and all - but when he is as charming as this, perhaps an exception could be overlooked. Christie certainly knew what she was doing. I wouldn't have it in any other way. One wonders if he will turn a new leaf in foreign lands.

Lovely and entirely enjoyable movie! Love Agatha Christie. Thank you ever so much!

A very Jeeves and Wooster version of Christie.

Thank you very much for sharing this great series❤ These old uploads offer a wonderful escape from everyday life.

Thank you very much! I enjoyed it thoroughly!

_Parker-there's an outrage on the lawn!_

THE BEST VERSION…Thank you!

There's a Major Flaw... ALWAYS get free before you have a conversation. Conversations are so much more relaxed once you're untied.

brilliant irony for the character of Moira, of whom Lady F keeps saying has no nerve, is a rabbit, timid, hysterical etc HA HA HA

A lovely Sunday viewing ! thank you !

Thank u, thank u for sharing! I thoroughly enjoyed this. A bit corny here and there but I've always liked both of the main actors.... She's so beautiful and he reminds me of Roddy McDowell a bit. I've passed on the opportunity to watch this for so long. I didn't realize it was Agatha Christie. I'm so glad I finally clicked on it. I've seen, I thought, all of her works; but, had not seen this one. Blessings to all, L :)

A real treat. Many thanks.

Thoroughly enjoyable. And yes Roger alerted Bobby, much the same way he lured Frankie to Tudor Cottage. You'd think she wouldn't have fallen for a similar ruse twice!

'How a psychiatrist could ever trust a woman, I could never understand."LOL

Thank you for the upload enjoyed truly! Love from India

This was really good. Really enjoyed it. Loved the cars, houses and outfits. If only I could go back. I would've loved it

Wonderful. Eric Porter is fantastic; "Soames" in "The Forsythe saga". The long scene starting at 1:45:00 is not in the book; but it saves the movie from having to show a letter.

Fantastic! Many thanks for upload.

Brilliant. I remember this from my teens and Frankie is gorgeous. Amazing at the end she rides off on the motorbike side-saddle.

3:35 ...this series is wonderful!... It gives the make of the cars we see!...

Most enjoyable. Thank you.

Lovely to see the No Hiding Place star Raymond Francis who player Tom Lockhart in various ranks through the series for much of the 60s. He plays Lord whatsisname Frankie's Dad the Earl.

re: Nicholson - "whenever we think its him he's always someplace else" interesting, as he later played Moriarty

Bobby is just like a young Michael Palin.

a couple of idiotic things in one scene: in the attic where they are tied up: Badger is behind the door but doesn't hit Roger over the head to knock him out; when they decide to go for the police, they ALL go instead of sending Lady Frances and the two men staying to guard him...

I did enjoy this. Thank you.

Oh yes, frightfully enjoyable

In my opinion films of Agatha Christie's tales are usually a second best compared to reading her novels. The films often introduce appeals to modern sentiment or make appeals to class or racial equality which are, like it or not, absent from the original. In this enjoyable version of Why didn't they ask Evans, it seems to me the reverse is true. This is a remarkable production with nuances and undertones and a sophistication which I dont recall whilst reading what was definitely not one of Agatha Christie's strongest achievements. There is so much good acting and light handed satire here that it is almost (unfortunately not entirely) possible to forget the bland thriller which I remember as the original tale. In other words, it seems to me that this film is an improvement on the book. It hams things up rather too much, but the underlying tone is symathetic and sincere and that shows. One small quibble with the production: those two piece telephones were quite heavy. I am just old enough to remember them! If they were gold plated, they would have been even heavier but in this production they are lifted as though they are as light as plastic, which is probably exactly what they were. And one other quibble, people do smoke in this production but not enough to be credible. In those days people smoked I mean really really smoked. One moved in a foggy mist in living rooms. Fog outside and fog inside, thats how it was. My father smoked 70 a day. There should have been more fog and fug to make for authenticity. And there roads are too clean. The streets were I am sure much more disheveled and messy than the smooth tarmacs prsented here. It would not have cost much to have introduced a few advertising hoardings, scraps of paper rejected burst tyres and such junk as then littered the highways and byways. Still, a sympathetic production and I mean sympathetic, mercifully free of the usual sneering at the mores and standards of the past and most unusually of all, the upper class is not made to look like a bunch of cretins and deviants, which is what so often happens in films of this kind.. Even the upper class villain is not without attraction and intelligence.

A true delight !!

Thank you! ❤️

When she gets the telegram from Sylvia WHY WHY doesn't she phone her to be sure it was legit? For a smart girl not so smart. For that matter, why doesn't she get suspicious when it's a cable and not a call?

Thank you.

Simply wonderful! Many thanks 🙏 for sharing. Kind regards, SF

What a rollicking good yarn !! 🤗🖒❤💯✔

Thank you so much...............

Nice one Roger

GREAT FUN THANK YOU

AND why on earth would there be a photo of Moira in the living room of Sylvia Bassington-French?

Loved it!! Just didn't understand the last scene, Frankie says: How did you know to come here? and he answers: You sent for me, didn't you? And she says, no, I didn't. So who told him she was there??? Was it the "charming" Robert who was looking out for her? Anyways, thoroughly enjoyed the comedy/suspense... Thank you for posting!! Racquel

Well, I confess I’ve (rather) changed my mind about this. I thought this piece had flat affect, if you can understand me. Not that it was slow. (I hate most action films, loathe block busters. But when Eric Porter made his distinguished but suggestive entrance, the rhythm picked up too. Since then, I’ve liked it better & better. And to think of all the ill I said of it in Part I. Shame on me! 😕

i agree with ms. J Norman…. it doesn't' look real when -being so smart- don't think in those details. the movie a little toooooo long, and the end… lucks of a resolution. I wonder the novel??? end like that. STILL I LOVE IT. THANK YOU FOR

absolutely wonderful, enjoyed it immensely and BTW all ladies ride "on the side". Check out Dame Dench in the last scene of the Best Marigold Hotel.

You would think that after her previous experience with a fake letter that Frankie would have called Sylvia before she went to the house. But nooooo........

So the rogue loved her enough ... well no spoilers here lol.. One of Dame Agathas best

The house used for Merroway Court is the same house that was Sir Anthony Strallon's house in Downton Abbey.

Rather good

Quite the cast. John Gielgud as a Vicar indeed. Joan Hickson way before Marple. And Bernard Miles.

Just take it as a good ol' murder mystery and not a Dateline documentary and it's fun and entertaining :) And the guy gets his girl in the end

Silly. Folderol. Charming trifle about a psychopath- two actually .

Francesca Annis should have been in the credits as the star

The ending is a tad disappointing. I wanted the satisfaction of capturing that blasted murderer! At this point, you'd expect them to be smart enough to screen pictures, stories, letters, invitations, alibis, etc...to verify whether or not they're true, with EVERY relevant party. That telegram screamed set-up. I can't believe she didn't check on Sylvia's and Tommy's whereabouts. I kept waiting for the cadre of hidden cops to pounce. Alas, they never materialized =(

Clearly an early story by the yet-to-be master of Crime fiction. We'll give her some slack here, as this story has what were to eventually be all the elements that hallmark Dame Agatha's stories. If it has one major fault, let it be that in this one story, the authoress loads too much into one story. But far be it from me to complain much about it. It' sill fun and exciting, albeit a bit contrived, We like it and we gave it a thumbs up, in the end.

28:18 I must confess i'm not familiar with British actors . but that guy sitting off to the right is superb . No doubt he's won many acting awards in his career

Damn, she was gorgeous. And more beautiful as the years passed.

Episode three looks like a high school production compared to the first two episodes.

Doris Hare at 28.18. Perhaps better known today as the mother of Reg Varney's character in the On the Buses TV series This Part III gets a little silly.... Tommy & Tuppence level of silliness

It was lovely production, but three hours is excessive for a seemingly thin mystery.

Fine episode... But why all that walking around in the dark quietly.......

I remember this, and the Seven Dials Mystery...but was there another? I seem to remember one in which a girl was combing her long, long hair...but...I have not see it and I don't remember a name. The bit with the hair is all that stood out to me.

I love Agatha Christy all of her books and characters💜🤟

oh my its Butlers mother from "On the buses" lol Doris hare

I love the English language, but there was a bit too much of it in this....Although, it was still good....Thanks for sharing.

Is the ending a bit different to original book? Did they change the ending in this drama? Thought Roger posted Frankie a letter from overseas revealing everything instead of meeting with her face to face? But I have to say this is the closest version to the book compare to the other Marple version.

I really enjoyed this. It was perfect watching it all while smoking some good Indian skag. Wouldn't want to inject the stuff though, I dislike needles, and smoking is much more of a social evening pastime. Having given up tobacco I enjoy it far more these days and believe it or not, it really is much healthier.

4:30 How does he know she needs a ride to the station?

It would've been obvious seeing that the broken glass fell inside of the room and not outside.

This is hilarious

Roger remind me of Matthew Goode!!!!

You put it all together This was really great. But that bastard Rodger really should have got his, if she went with gun it would have been MUCH. DIFFERENT!!!

After two excellent parts, it turned into a badly written high-school farcical play. I think, this part has not been written by Christie.

OK, OK, OK, OK I THINK. I. FOUND. IT YEA. I. FOUND IT AND. THANK YOU BUT I HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS HAS BEEN ONE HELL OF A STORY,. I HOPE THEY GET THAT BASTARD

Only watched this particular version of the story to see Leigh Lawson --- it dragged on a bit.

the AD that runs on this page...for the super green health drink ORGANIFI _ The price is ludicrous - $100 for 30 packets of the Green??? SENIORS need this stuff to NOT DIE.....and you keep it out of reach. BAD GUY

😀💖

Why was this advertised as a Miss Marple mystery?

A pretty damn good play,any one for tennis?And a spot of opium after lunch maybe.

but the killer got away with it all.

Love the production and the actors, but have always hated when the murderer gets away with it - especially a multiple murderer. Poo.

Badger went to Oxford? 16:44.

So, Roger got away with murder? What fun!
