Agatha Christie

[mark fowler]

Does anyone have any information on an adaptation of Agatha Christie's A Murder Is Announced starring Gracie Fields as Jane Marple? Also in the cast was a young Roger Moore. It isn't listed on lostshows so I suppose it could be a USA production. As a collector of Agatha Christie adaptations would be very interested to find out if it still exists.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Mark,

Check out the listing on IMDB for this adaptation, it was part of the Goodyear Television Playhouse" series. Also, didn't realise that Jesicca Tandy was also in the cast along with Roger Moore.

And you thought Geraldine McEwan was mis-cast!
