“Murder at the Gallop”, 1963, is the second of four Miss Marple films made by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It was based on the 1953 novel “After the Funeral” by Agatha Christie, and starred Dame Margaret Rutherford as Miss Jane Marple, Charles "Bud" Tingwell as Inspector Craddock and Stringer Davis (Rutherford's real-life husband) as Jane Marple's friend Mr. Stringer.

Murder at the Gallop (1963)

My rating: 6/10

Did. Did Mr Enderby just say what I think he said re: humans and horses?

Anyway, this is quite pleasant, once it gets past the general shenanigans and into the actual murder investigation. Still not as good as the first Miss Marple movie, but still, pleasant.

Miss Marple ermittelt undercover im Theatermilieu. Sehr verdächtig! Sie hat aber eine natürliche Begabung, die Schnüfflerin darzustellen. Wäre sie dabeigeblieben, das Stück würde länger laufen als Die Mausefalle.
