I dislike these movies!!!!!

These are the worst Agatha Christie movies i have seen. I did not want to even give a star. i WOULD LIKE TO GET my money back if possible. I cannot bear to watch the rest of them. They do not have the class as the other movies have . I will ONLY WATCH THE first type of movies i brought with Hercule Piroit as the leading person. Money wasted. August 12, 2008

agayha christie classic mystery collection

Helen Hayes is still my favorite Miss Marple she brings a high spirit to the role that is lacking in other productions yet carries off the little old lady knitting all the time well . very enjoyable. August 11, 2008

Love Agatha Christie

I love Agatha Christie movies and books. Poirot is always the favorite, especially when it's Peter Ustinov. Helen Heyes is a wonderful Marple. This collection is a "must have" for all Agatha Christie fans. My only disappointment was with "Murder Is Easy". The description of DVD set leads you to believe this is Miss Marple, but it isn't. Helen Heyes is playing another character and is only briefly involved. Bill Bixby is the sleuth in this movie. The movie itself is still very good and very exciting--just not with Miss Marple.

Fans of Mysteries and Old Hollywood Stars Will Enjoy This Set

If you are as big a fan of mysteries and of old Hollywood stars as I am then this set is a must for you. You get Peter Ustinov, Jean Stapleton, Faye Dunaway, Bette Davis, Lesley Anne Down, Tony Randall, Tony Curtis, and my personal favorite--Helen Hayes--just to name a few! Some of my favorites are "Murder with Mirrors with Helen Hayes and Bette Davis, and "Dead Man's Folly" with Peter Ustinov and Jean Stapleton. Jean Stapleton is a riot in this one. She really steals the show!

But I must admit that the stars are probably the best part of these Warner Bros. productions. It's just a shame that with such great actors the producers didn't get better scripts and directors. The weakest of the lot is probably "Murder in Three Acts", with Tony Curtis. The dialogue is weak and the scenes very choppy and hard to follow. Some of these stories like "Sparkling Cyanide" have been messed with so much that there is very little resemblance to Christie's original story! But if you like mysteries and want to see some great old Hollywood stars (especially Helen Hayes) then you will enjoy this set. August 23, 2007

Very Well Done!

This boxed set is one of the best we have purchased in a long time. All the movies are well done and exciting. I am especially impressed at how clean the movies are. It is far too easy to find things that are very offensive and unwholesome. These are all well done, clean, and typical Agatha Christie, exciting and thrilling. She is one of the best mystery writers around and it is good to see some of her classics done so well. Keep up the good work!!! August 4, 2007
