Although the evidence appears to be overwhelming in the strangulation murder of a blackmailer, Miss Marple's sole 'not guilty' vote han gs the jury 11-1. She becomes convinced that the real murderer is a member of a local theatrical troupe, so she joins them in order to gather information. The clues lead back many years to a single disastrously unsuccessful 1951 performance of a dreadful play written by the group's hammy director, H. Driffold Cosgood. Although at that time, several of the current cast members were only children, more murders follow before Miss Marple ultimately exposes the killer.　　英国影片(💽)。片(piàn )长90分，根(gēn )據Mrs. McGinty's Dead改編，原(🎑)著(📐)是波羅故事(🙈)。因(🏐)影片将主角变(🐮)为(wéi )(👎)马普(pǔ )(🧤)尔小姐和剧情的更(gèng )改(gǎi )引起原(yuán )(🍚)小(🚝)說作者(zhě )克里(🍗)斯(sī )蒂强烈不满(mǎn )，影片本身也(yě )(➕)遭遇票房(fáng )和评(píng )论惨败。主演Margaret Rutherford还出演過(guò )另外3部以马普尔(ěr )小姐(🥐)为主(zhǔ )角的电(diàn )影，其中1部(🛴)亦是根据波(bō )洛(🏽)故事改编(「葬(zàng )礼之后(🎯)」)，另(😫)1部是原创(chuàng )剧本(běn )。80年代在多部电视剧中(🐷)扮演(yǎn )塔彭(❤)丝的(de )Francesca Annis也(♟)在本片(🏹)中扮演一个(🏺)小角色。
