Wesley Lovell Cinema Sight While Murder at the Gallop is mostly as clever as the source material, that’s likely to both please and frustrate Christie’s fans Rated: 3/4 Oct 10, 2023 Full Review Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine The formidable jowls and unconquerable tweediness of Margaret Rutherford are again employed to impersonate author Agatha Christie's sleuth, Miss Jane Marple, in this good comedy-thriller from Britain. Oct 7, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Enjoyable and competently made standard whodunit in the Miss Marple series. Rated: B- Apr 22, 2007 Full Review John J. Puccio Movie Metropolis The story follows the general pattern set forth in the first movie.... The major difference is that this one is a bit more amusing than the first. Rated: 7/10 Mar 8, 2006 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Aug 11, 2005 Full Review Steve Crum Kansas City Kansan As usual, Rutherford's Miss Marple is a plus.

HR G Dame Margaret Rutherford is THE antithesis of Marple in the books but for some reason this works and is amazing. I love this series of movies. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review Audience Member "They [the police] have their methods; we have ours". Absolutely brilliant. Terrific casting and great script. Dame Margaret Rutherford on top form. How to make tweeness irristable Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review joe m Second film with Margaret Rutherford as Miss Marple, "Murder at the Gallop" has less murder-suspense and more comedic elements than "Murder, She Said", which of course Rutherford excels as but detracts from the overall story. Still enjoyable and worth catching. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Hilarious and charming Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Frances H Such a cute murder mystery movie! I love all of the Margaret Rutherford Miss Marple movies, but this is one of my favorites. With Dame Flora Robson and Robert Morley, who I just loved! What a lot of fun! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/27/20 Full Review Audience Member Much better than the first Marple movie. That one drags, whereas this one is light and fun and simple. And Rutherford seems much more comfortable in the role. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
