  • Interesting enough for its cast but underwhelming.
“The Mirror Crack’d” is an interesting enough film to watch once, even if it is rather lackluster and doesn’t really work. For one thing it is part of the series of Agatha Christie films produced by John Brabourne (Lord Brabourne) in the 1970’s and early 80’s which included “Murder On the Orient Express”, “Death On the Nile” and later, “Evil Under the Sun”. Those were opulent looking event films, set in exotic places with all-star casts and memorable music. Something about this film seems too small, more like a made-for-TV movie with a surprising cast of well-known actors. The English village setting in Kent may not be quite exotic enough compared to the rest of the series and is little-used after the opening. Almost the entire film takes place indoors at the St. Claire estate or within Miss Marple’s home. Miss Marple is also not the flamboyant Mr. Poirot and in addition here is kept to the sidelines away from the main action until the film’s final denouement. Thus all Angela Lansbury has to do to sit in a chair and discuss matters with her nephew, Inspector Craddock of Scotland Yard (so well-played by Edward Fox that he almost steals the show). It does not help that Lansbury was given an awful, amateur-looking makeup job to appear elderly. The film is set in 1953 and has to do with a Hollywood film being shot in the village of Saint Mary Meade.The primary cast is made up of very big names from the 1950’s, who together would have been unaffordable in that decade. Elizabeth Taylor, Kim Novak, Rock Hudson and Tony Curtis play the major roles with relative newcomer Geraldine Chaplin holding her own in this ensemble. With this plot the film also becomes one of those Hollywood self-contemplations that are usually darker than this (“Sunset Boulevard”, “A Star Is Born”, “The Bad and the Beautiful”). Here it’s played all for laughs, though a little too broadly at times. Still, the barbs Taylor and Novak throw at each other are themselves worth the price of admission. The mystery keeps you guessing but is fair enough to give the audience some real clues to figure out the murderer. The setting and cinematography are quite ordinary and the music is totally forgettable, not the memorable Richard Rodney-Bennett score of “Orient Express” or the sophisticated Cole Porter score of “Evil Under the Sun”. Angela Lansbury would become totally identified as sleuth Jessica Fletcher in twelve seasons of “Murder, She Wrote” in just a few years. As for the rest, the main reason to see the film is to see these great actors together even if they weren’t given a script worthy of them. ... show more

  • Probably one of the worst Agatha Christie films ever made.
This production has little going for it, the only real bright spot is Kim Novak, who has the best lines in the film but her over-the-top campy performance doesn't play well in the production. The sad part of this mess is Rock Hudson, who by this point in his career and life, is clearly not well. Elizabeth Taylor looks the part and does display a fine acting talent but there's not enough of Elizabeth and Kim Novak tossing barbs at each other. The film is just not well edited and there are too many loose ends at the end. Angela Lansbury was not old enough for her role as she has to wear too much makeup to pull it off, but it's clear to see why later she became so popular on "Murder She Wrote". Tony Curtis? Why bother? There's just not enough of him. The film is too short and not the slick production that it should have been, considering the list of stars. ... show more

  • Disappointed that Scenes were Axed
I am an Agatha Christie fan, through and through. I never expect much from the Hollywood versions of her stories, but enjoy them just the same. What I feel compelled to say is that I am thoroughly disappointed that someone axed several minutes from this version. Had I known that, I would never have purchased it. I remember in the VHS version, there was a breakfast scene at Gossington Hall in which Marina Gregg is gushing on about how she was born in England, is so glad that she has returned, and loves it "here" so much that she wants to die here. Also, there is further conversation about the plans for a village fete on the grounds. This scene was axed. There was also a sequence in which the photographer on the stairs is investigated and eventually disqualified as a suspect. That sequence was also axed. What really galls is that the producers had the nerve to place Margot Bence's (photographer) name in the credits after cutting her scenes. I don't know what else was cut, but I would not be surprised if more was cut. 105 minutes is pretty minimal. What is most irritating is that Amazon does not see to it that the movies are described in more detail, especially the length of each movie. A comparison should be made between the various versions or between the versions of the versions - if you get my drift. ... show more

  • The Mirror Crack'D 1980
This film version of Agatha Christie's book, was a surprise to me. I was very dubious about the cast, which was chock full of 80's movie stars. Rock Hudson and Elizabeth Taylor play the hosts at a party, where someone poisons a drink. It runs true to Christie's story. The ending has a surprising twist. I enjoyed it even though it is very dated, it's worthwhile watching. ... show more

  • Good But Could Have Been Better
For the most part, I really enjoyed this movie. That being said, there were things that could have made it better. Casting Liz Taylor in the role (loosely based on the Gene Tierney story) was a mistake. She just didn't seem believable as the supposedly fragile, fading film star, trying to make a comeback. Liz seemed too powerful, in control (up to the end) and angry...the weeping and come hither looks directed at Rock Hudson, fell well short of the mark. I did enjoy her sniping with Kim Novak, but again, it didn't fit with the role she was supposedly playing overall. I love Angela Lansbury but in this film, she was not at her best. Seemed to be just reading her lines and portraying the role of Miss Marple in an almost "campy" way. That detracted from her performance throughout this movie. I still enjoyed the story and I'm glad I watched it. Good but could have been better. ... show more

  • A VERY disappointing Miss Marple Mystery
I am a big Agatha Christie fan and love all of the Miss Marple made-for-TV movies and even the old Margaret Rutherford farces. My question is, "How could you miss with a star-studded cast like this?" Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, Angela Lansbury, Tony Curtis, et.al. But miss they certainly did. This is by far the WORSE Miss Marple ever made. How to you make Elizabeth Taylor look old and ugly??? ... show more
