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。片长90分，根(📊)據Mrs. McGinty's Dead改編，原著是波(🔹)羅故事(🙈)。因影片将(jiāng )主角(jiǎo )变为马普(pǔ )尔(ěr )小姐和剧情(qíng )(🗼)的更改引起(qǐ )原(🍚)小說作者克(kè )里斯蒂强(qiáng )烈(liè )不满，影(😾)片(piàn )本身也遭遇(yù )票(💅)房和评(🚁)论惨(cǎn )败。主演(yǎn )Margaret Rutherford还出演過另外3部以(♊)马普尔(ěr )小姐为主(zhǔ )角的(de )电影，其中1部亦是(shì )根据波洛故事改编(「(👺)葬(zàng )礼之后(hòu )」)，另1部是(shì )原创(chuàng )剧本(běn )(🐕)。80年(🚲)代在多(🚒)部(🌨)电视剧中扮(👰)演塔彭(péng )丝的Francesca Annis也(yě )在本片(🏹)中(🕙)扮演一个(gè )小角(📔)色(📈)。
