Rating:  - Miss Marple dvd's
Would recommendthese Dvd's on Miss Marple Classic Mysteries!!! My husband was thoroughly suprised when I ordered them. He is a large fan of Miss Marple and has really enjoyed them. I think he will keep me after 37 years of marriage. On scale of 1-10, we say a 10!!!!!
Rating: - Agatha at her best
A perfect collection. Nice that they put 9 films on the 5 CDs. A very practical way to keep your collection together. The small thin Amoray cases makes it easy to use, save, keep available. I have the Nero Wolfe series, which I dearly love, but the cases are bigger--and you notice.
A nice variety of her films too.
Rating:  - Great transfer but for no subtitles
I got the set from one of the resellers in good time and in the NEW quality as advertised. I just wish that somewhere in the reviews, someone would have mentioned that there are NO subtitles on the disks. Joan Hickson (Miss Marple) is one of my favorite actresses in this role, but she can be quite quiet and this makes it hard to hear what's she said, and this is irritating since it's usually one of the clues that is stumping Chief Inspector Slack.
That's the only irritation I had with the set. All the episodes but for "At Bertram's Hotel" are fairly easy to view, but "Betram's Hotel" has a bit of color-change, something makes the images look tinged with sepia; the others are vivid and the image transfer is pretty good in my opinion.
Rating: - Marple Classic Mysteries
I believe the Joan Hickson portrayal of Miss Marple tops all the other women that have played the role. Great group of mysteries.
Rating:  - Surely not the best of Agatha Christie
While Agatha Christie movies are usually very good, I'm afraid that these titles appeared during the 1980's, which was not particularly an apt time to use Joan Hickson. She's a remarkable actress, but clearly quite old at this time. I still think there's quite a bit of merit in these titles, but I don't suggest you use this series as a hallmark to your collection. Mind you, Magaret Rutherford's Agatha Christie collection is worth adding to your collection, despite her age during the course of the series.
