Angela Lansbury stars as supersleuth Miss Marple, who sets about solving a mysterious death in the archetypal English village of St. Mary Mead. Marina Rudd and a film crew arrive in the village to shoot a Mary Queen of Scots picture. But, at a reception, the secretary of the village organising committee dies from a poisoned cocktail.

The Mirror Crack’d will appeal to the viewer mainly thanks to the plethora of stars who give the film adaptation of the novel by the "Queen of Crime" a whole new dimension. Angela Lansbury certainly caught inspiration here for how to be the supremely nosy amateur investigator who would later "write murders". If you watch carefully, you will no trouble discovering the identity of the perpetrator, though the motive itself was (at least to me) quite shocking. I was surprised – and in a nice way – that the script included a number of sarcastic lines that one would not expect much in a film like this. The only thing that bothered me while watching it was the inappropriately chosen musical score. P.S. "Lola, dear, you know, there are really only two things I dislike about you. - Really? What are they? - Your face!"
