Adapted from Agatha Christie's The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side, this mediocre mystery gave Angela Lansbury the chance to rehearse her role as crime-solving novelist Jessica Fletcher in Murder She Wrote. Unfortunately, we are now all too familiar with her subsequent persona for her role here as Miss Marple to seem new. Frankly, with the clash of the titans going on between Elizabeth Taylor and Kim Novak, nobody else really gets a look in, not even Tony Curtis and Rock Hudson (in his penultimate picture).

After adventures on the Orient Express and the Nile, this follow-up in the Agatha Christie stakes seems woefully restricted with stilted dialogue and playing.

OK
Quite simply one of the easiest Christie whodunnits ever. If you can't get the killer in the first 45minutes, you should never watch Midsommer Murders again. As always with all-star productions it's the spotting of the stars that make the film.
