Although the evidence appears to be overwhelming in the strangulation murder of a blackmailer, Miss Marple's sole 'not guilty' vote han gs the jury 11-1. She becomes convinced that the real murderer is a member of a local theatrical troupe, so she joins them in order to gather information. The clues lead back many years to a single disastrously unsuccessful 1951 performance of a dreadful play written by the group's hammy director, H. Driffold Cosgood. Although at that time, several of the current cast members were only children, more murders follow before Miss Marple ultimately exposes the killer.　　英国影(yǐng )(👮)片。片长90分，根據Mrs. McGinty's Dead改編，原著是波羅故事。因影片(piàn )将(👘)主(😓)角变为马普(pǔ )尔(ěr )小姐和剧情的更改引起(🏟)原小(🚝)說作(📌)者克(kè )里(🍗)斯(sī )蒂强烈(liè )不满(📢)，影片本(🈳)身也遭(📊)遇票(piào )房(fáng )和评论惨败。主演(⚾)Margaret Rutherford还出演(yǎn )(😣)過另(lìng )外3部以马普(pǔ )尔小姐(jiě )为(wéi )(🏉)主角的电影，其(qí )中(🐢)1部(bù )亦(🚱)是(shì )根据波(📃)洛故事改编(「葬礼之后」)，另1部(📼)是(🛹)原创剧本。80年(🚲)代在多部(bù )电视剧中扮(👰)演塔彭丝的Francesca Annis也在本片中(🕙)扮演(📛)一个小(xiǎo )角色。
