Angela Lansbury takes over the legacy of
Margaret Rutherford as
Agatha Christie's dogged sleuth
Miss Marple in
The Mirror Crack'd. The story takes place on a film set in a small British town in the 1950s.
Elizabeth Taylor plays a washed-up actress trying to make a comeback but is plagued by a mysterious incident from her past. Unfortunately for her mental state, a collection of murders jar the quiet village where the movie is being made. Miss Marple arrives on the scene with her nephew, Inspector Craddock (
Edward Fox), to investigate. In addition to Taylor, an assortment of other movie stars grace the roster of suspects, including
Rock Hudson,
Kim Novak, and
Tony Curtis.
