7	Murder, She Said (1962) more movies like this directed by George Pollock featuring Margaret Rutherford, Arthur Kennedy, Muriel Pavlow, James Robertson Justice, Charles "Bud" Tingwell Dumpy, dough-faced British comedienne Margaret Rutherford was not precisely the physical type Agatha Christie had in mind for the prim, tweedish sleuth Miss Marple.
