Wesley Lovell Cinema Sight With Murder Most Foul, the pacing is off, the mystery isn’t terribly exciting, and Rutherford seems adrift in the proceedings and that’s even giving some leeway for her capabilities. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 10, 2023 Full Review Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena Rutherford a Miss Marple definitiva, mesclando inteligncia e frgil leveza para construir uma personagem divertida, mas crvel como algoz de frios assassinos.ff Rated: 4/5 May 2, 2006 Full Review John J. Puccio Movie Metropolis The story line of Murder Most Foul follows the formula introduced in the first movie and scrupulously followed by the next three.

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 joe m "Murder Most Foul" the third of MGM's Miss Marple films starring Margaret Rutherford, is an exceptional mix of murder, suspense and comedic goings on that achieve just the right balance of all three. Rutherford, is in top form, especially with unusual number of cape flourishes in this outing. This time she infiltrates a group of two-bit provincial players lead by the hammy Driffold Cosgood (Moody). The movie also is sharper with Miss Marple clearly showing her superior sleuthing skills over Inspector Craddock (Tingwell) after he makes a rather slighting comment about her amateur abilities. The type of film that is pure escapism - even while the murders pile up! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Great old fashioned yarn that stars Margaret Rutherford as Agatha Christie's famous ditsy amateur sleuth Miss Marple . Not the liveliest of films admittedly but enough fun and unexpected twists to keep your mind occupied- all in all a decent watch from an era of transition for British films. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Frances H These ol Margaret Rutherford Miss Marple flicks are so much fun, because Rutherford always plays such cute characters. This one is not as good as Murder at the Gallop, but it is definitely worth a watch! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/28/20 Full Review Audience Member This is the third of four Miss Marple films starring Margaret Rutherford I have seen using boxxy software. And, like the rest of the movies, it has the incredibly catchy harpsichord musical score that is a bit hip and mod. However, of the three I've so far seen, it's my least favorite. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Perfect entertainment. Not a second of this is wasted. Beautifully cast and directed. It is not easy to make something as joyous as this. The lightness of touch makes most comedies appear leaden by contrast. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
