She also did "4.50 From Paddington". Watched that recently on TV with Geraldine McEwan as MM and Griff Rhys Jones as the murderer - very odd, he didn't fit |

Thanks - I didn't see it on that site. Right - just checked - that's "Murder She Said" - the Spanish title is El tren de las 4:50. This is the English poster, which has the train thing:  I've realised that I don't remember the films that well - I do remember Gallop and Ahoy being comedy thrillers, but was this one more serious? I think I'll watch it tomorrow afternoon anyway. (They're lovely prints, by the way: B&W, as sharp as you could wish.) |

Yes they pop up regularly on TCM. I quite liked the Joan Hickson versions, trouble is they have been on so many times and perhaps there's been nothing else worth watching we have sat down and watched over and over.

She was very good and looked like the typical village busybody - I was brought up in a village until my later teens and know very well what they are like. I remember when I was 15 or 16ish being very pally with a new girl who had arrived having been adopted by a retired vicar. Having tea with my mother she suddenly said "Did you know Ann is having a baby". In my naivety I said "Don't be silly, she isn't married" This all stemmed from the village Co-op, the centre of all gossip where they speculated and wondered, waiting for the baby to be born and see who it resembles. Ann disappeared for some weeks, my enquiries met with "She's on holiday" She returned plus baby who had red hair and there was only one redheaded bloke in the village. He disappeared, permanently Sorry to wander off topic but Miss Marple would have been in her element |

Ah village life, I remember it well. A couple of memories, I recall there was a tall German gent in the village. He was good looking and charming to the ladies of the village, however the men shunned him.
I recall a young lad maybe 20 ish got a young girl pregnant and it was a scandal. Then again it was rare in those days to see a coloured man in the village, and Mum would say if we were naughty or whatever, the black man will get you.
In all they were good days, no one locked their doors. Everyone knew each other and most people married someone from the village and settled there.

(They're lovely prints, by the way: B&W, as sharp as you could wish.) 4.50 from Paddington is a detective fiction novel by Agatha Christie, first published in November 1957. The 1961 film Murder, She Said was based on it. This work was also published in the United States as "What Mrs. McGillicuddy Saw. www.imdb.com/title/tt0055205/?ref_=nv_sr_1Oddly, Joan Hickson was in it. |

In all they were good days, no one locked their doors. Everyone knew each other and most people married someone from the village and settled there. In our village there was a single mother who acquired a Polish fighter pilot "lodger" after the war. That set the tongues wagging and aroused my childish curiosity having never seen anybody "foreign". I remember sneakily listening to my mother and friends in full gossip mode talking about how passionate the Poles were alleged to be, and that one had even bitten a woman's nipple off. At that age, not knowing what a nipple was, I was very intrigued |

Anyone watch, The Brokenwood Mysteries? I don't know it. What's it like? (I do like Miss Fisher, which is probably very different - set in a different era, different country, but same continent.) |
