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.　　英国影片。片长90分，根據(📂)Mrs. McGinty's Dead改(gǎi )編，原著(zhe )(📐)是(shì )波羅(🦇)故(😞)事(shì )。因影(🐆)片将主角(jiǎo )变为马普尔小姐和剧情(qíng )的(de )更改引起原小說作者克里(🍗)斯蒂强烈(liè )(🎷)不(🏑)满(mǎn )，影片(piàn )本身(shēn )也遭遇票房和(hé )评论(🚠)惨败。主演Margaret Rutherford还出演(😣)過另外(📼)3部以马普尔小姐(jiě )为(🏉)主角的电影，其(📠)中(🐢)1部亦是(shì )根(👪)据波洛故事改编(「(👺)葬(🔼)礼之(😯)后(hòu )」)，另1部是原创(🛹)剧本。80年代在多部(bù )电视剧中扮(bàn )演塔彭(péng )丝(👬)的Francesca Annis也在(zài )本片中扮(🛵)演(📛)一(yī )个小角色(sè )。
