Among my various passions, all that stands between the famous British author Agatha Christie murder mystery.
is a passion since I was born very small, thanks to the transmission of films based on his most famous novels on Rete 4.
Since then, I have collected all her novels, collections of short stories, autobiography as a travelogue, and most of the films based on his stories.
The elderly spinster of St. Mary Mead is thus described by the author in his autobiography:
"[...] Miss Marple is slipped so quietly into my life that I hardly noticed his arrival. I wrote a series of stories for a magazine, figuring that in a village six people meets once a week to recount some cases remained unsolved. I started with Miss Jane Marple, a type of old lady I had frequently seen [...] in the villages of my youth stays. [...] despite his friendliness, always expect the worst from everything and everybody and his predictions are almost always proved correct. [...] When Miss Marple was born had an age ranging from sixty-seventy years, EEI, bad age, such as Poirot, and the duration of our relationship. If I had had the slightest ability to predict the future, I would have chosen as the first investigator a kid, so he could grow old with me. [...] Besides appearing in several collections, entitled "Miss Marple and thirteen issues," "In three against crime", "Appointment with Fear" and "Three Blind Mice and Other Stories," Miss Marple was the protagonist of 12 novels

The big and small screen have often grappled with success in the implementation of the famous character created by Agatha Christie.
The first and most famous Miss Marple of Margaret Rutherford was celluloid, the protagonist of a series of films of the 60s:
1 - "Murder" , from "Snapshot of a crime"
2 - "Murder at the Gallop" , from "After The Funeral"
3 - "Murder Most Foul" , taken from "Stop the Executioner"
Given the incredible success of the first three films, the director was asked to make another film again starring Margaret Rutherford as Miss Marple, and thus was born Murder on board ", created from an original screenplay (the complete collection is available on DVD overseas). Ironically, despite the general public now identify with Miss Marple British actress, it seems that Agatha Christie was totally unsatisfied with this quartet and its interpreter, objectively far, at least physically, from what the writer had in mind (plus it was felt outraged by the fact that "Murder at the Gallop" in "Murder Most Foul" were conceived as novels featuring Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple!). It is rumored, in fact, that Christie had mentioned the name of a certain Joan Hickson for the lead role (the actress had appeared in a supporting role in "Murder" ). 30 years later, the BBC has decided to grant his wish ...
born In fact, a huge project under which will be filmed for television all the novels and stories that have had starring the two detective created by Agatha Christie, Hercule Poirot and, of course, Miss Marple, the latter played by Joan Hickson . The work, published recently in an elegant DVD in book form, includes the 12 films based on the novels mentioned above. DVDs are available in English.
Recently the BBC has hired Geraldine McEwan to shoot again the whole saga of Miss Marple, but with less success. The titles are the same, unlike "Miss Marple in the Caribbean" , inexplicably replaced with "A message from the spirits" , Agatha Christie novel in which however did not include any detective. A new cycle of films about Miss Marple for the BBC will always like protagonist Julia MacKenzie.
interesting was the episode in its own right instead of "The Mirror Crack'd" 1985, directed by Dick Lowrie, an all-star cast that he starred Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, Geraldine Chaplin, Kim Novak and, in the role of Miss Marple, Jessica Lansbury . The actress was so convincing that he was cast as many as 12 seasons of a popular television series entitled "Murder, She Wrote" , inspired by the adventures of Miss Marple since the original title, "Murder, She Wrote" , along the lines of "Murder, She Said" ( American title of "Murder" with Margaret Rutherford). 
of great television success, finally, a series of two films of the 80s in the title role who see the great actress Helen Hayes Theatre . They are the following films:
"Miss Marple in the Caribbean"
"Miss Marple: The Mirror Crack'd" (wrongly translated, as the novel that inspired it instead "Miss Marple: Sleight of hand ").
The movies are available in English in a box set that also includes the film adaptation of " It is too easy ", English writer of detective novel without, however, where the first victim, starring Helen Hayes, remembers everything and everything Miss Marple ...
The network also shows a film of 1956, never translated into Italy, from the novel "A crime to take place" , starring Gracie Fields .
