Welllllll.... the first Marple I saw was Angela Lansbury in
the 1980 production of _The Mirror Crack'd._  And she was
very good, but a little more ... vigorous than I'd have
expected in Miss Marple.  The next one I saw was Joan
Hickson, who I thought was spot-on.  I have never had the
misfortune of seeing any of the Margaret Rutherford films,
which I understand can be described as "lots of fun, but not
anything like Marple."

The next lady ... (searches IMDB for name) ... Geraldine
McEwan was, to my mind, not nearly as good.  I haven't seen
any of the ones with Julia McKenzie at all.

Should you wish to email me, you'd better use the hotmail edress.
Kithrup is getting too damn much spam, even with the sysop's filters.
