I have now been fortunate enough to have achieved 50% of my goal regarding prints of Margaret Rutherford as Agatha Christie's Miss Marple. [Big Grin]

She only made four films in this role:

Murder She Said
Murder Most Foul
Murder at the Gallop
Murder Ahoy

I now have the first two on this list, so am actively seeking Murder at the Gallop, and Murder Ahoy.

Any details of contacts, adverts etc. for these would be greatly appreciated.

I am also looking for Trouble in Store, 1953, starring Norman Wisdom, but essentially for Margaret Rutherford who plays an elderly but charming shoplifter.

This film has special memories for me, as not only was it Norman Wisdom's first film, but it was one my Mum & Dad took me to see for my 10th birthday. I can still see the scene as if it were yesterday, where a model train in the department store runs right up Margaret Rutherford's gaping coat sleeve, which she had judiciously placed across the track! It still makes me chuckle whenever I think of it.

Cheers,

She was superb in the Wisdon pic! I still chuckle at the memory of that shot. Going alightly sideways - did you ever see Timothy Spall playing her? He was magnificent too!!

Hi David,

Yes, I did see Timothy Spall's monologue. You're right - he was absolutely superb!

David, did you complete the set of titles? I would also like to track those down as I love Margaret in that role.
