Still going the big name route

An early adaptation of Miss Marple's investigation. Angela Lansbury, who played a pornographic novelist in the 78th edition of "Murder on the Nile", plays Miss Marple. There are also many former superstars in the same play. Get up and count the trees: Elizabeth Taylor, the smash hit Rock Hudson in the 1950s and 1960s (who starred in Giants with her in the 1960s), Kim Novak (Vertigo), Geraldine Chaplin (the daughter of comedy master Chaplin) ), Tony Curtis, the star of the year (played passionately with Monroe), and the last one is Pierce Brosnan, who can be recognized by sharp-eyed people (007, known to Martians, was still a runner with only one side face) .

However, compared to the Polo film series shot in previous years, this Miss Marple is a lot inferior. First of all, in terms of casting, although Angela Lansbury's miss marple is still quite in line with the character of the book, due to the description in the book at that time The miss marple is already in her old age. Angela Lansbury was still too young at that time. If you change the story, it may be better. Secondly, because of the participation of the jade woman, it has been robbed a lot of limelight, and I don't know. Whether this is the reason, there are really too few scenes in miss marple, and the whole drama seems to have insufficient suspense. The plot progresses slowly, which makes people feel sleepy, but what is more interesting is the husband and wife team of Yu Po and Rock Hudson. Back then, the giants they played together were in their prime. Now they will meet again after a few decades. Besides, Kim Novak is playing Yu Po's nemesis. It's interesting to think that they are also stars of the same era. The body and appearance are well maintained. Although Yu Po is still in good shape, her body is not good enough. There are also two men, Rock Hudson and Tony Curtis. Rock is still so jade forest in the play, and I still see the old days The handsome one, but tony has become an uncle through and through, and finally Chaplin's daughter. I saw her in the 04 version of Miss Marple's "Sleeping Villa" before.

The Mirror Crack'd quotes

  • Lola Brewster: You seem lovely, as always. Of course, there are fewer lights on than usual. In fact, any fewer, and I'd need a seeing-eye dog.

    Marina Rudd: Oh, I shouldn't bother to buy one, dear. In that wig, you could play Lassie.

    Lola Brewster: Same adorable sense of humor. And I'm so glad to see that you've not only kept your GORGEOUS figure, but you've added SO MUCH to it!

    Marina Rudd: What are you doing here so early, dear? I thought the plastic surgery seminar was in Switzerland.

    Lola Brewster: Actually, darling, I couldn't wait to begin our little movie. You know the saying: once an actress, always an actress.

    Marina Rudd: Oh, I do know the saying. But what does it have to do with you?

    Lola Brewster: Cute angel. So do tell. How does it feel to be back, after being away SO LONG?

  • Lola Brewster: Chin up, darling... both of them.
