The Queen Of Crime

This week, murder’s in the air as we take a look at two Golden Age examples of Agatha Christie movie adaptations! Firstly, Charles Laughton is attempting to determine the guilt of Tyrone Power in Billy Wilder’s stunning 1957 screen take on Witness For The Prosecution. And then it’s sleuthing ahoy with Margaret Rutherford as Miss Marple, in 1961’s Murder, She Said! Radio entertainment comes in the form of an Agatha Christie double-bill; Orson Welles plays Hercule Poirot in The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd, and the Molle Mystery Theatre adapt Witness For The Prosecution. There’s music from Nat King Cole and Louis Armstrong, and another chance for you to see if you can guess… Who The Hell Is That Hollywood Legend?
