I haven't for years ...", By Themis-Athena (from somewhere between California and Germany) - See all my reviews This review is from: Marple: The Classic Mysteries Collection (Caribbean Mystery / 4:50 from Paddington / Moving Finger / Nemesis / At Bertram's Hotel / Murder at Vicarage / Sleeping Murder / They Do It with Mirrors / Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side) (DVD) There she sits: A white-haired lady dressed in tweeds, a pair of knitting needles in her lap, more interested in village gossip than in the goings-on of the world at large - and out of nothing, she utters sentences like that.For more likely than not, another murder has been committed; and Miss Jane Marple, elderly spinster from the village of St. Mary Mead, just happens to find herself near the scene of the crime. And also more likely than not, while the police are still toddling around searching for clues she'll find the solution - relying on her ever-unfailing "village parallels;" those seemingly innocuous incidents of village life that make up the sum of her knowledge of human nature, and to which she routinely turns in unmasking even the cleverest killer.

Joan Hickson is a delight in the title role. Ok, she's not the hilarious "twit" that Margaret Rutherford was on the big screen 4 times in the 1960s (that set is now available too), but she does a first class job just as David Suchet did for Poirot and Jeremy Brett did for Sherlock Holmes. 2 things you should be aware of. 1) These discs were previously released in 2 separate sets (which I bought ages ago), and admittedly the current asking price on Amazon for this set is less than the 2 combined (heck, it's less than set 2 by itself as I type this). Point is, nothing new here, if you like me bought the other 2 sets, all this will do is duplicate your existing stuff. 2) Although this is a lot of good mystery, it's not "THE COMPLETE SERIES". To complete your series,...

For those trying to make a decision whether or not to buy these disks, I have outlined the cuts below:Sleeping Murder - intact: no cuts. 4.50 from Paddington - edited: 5 mins 11 secs |
