Joan Hickson as Miss Marple.

"Agatha Christie's most popular character - prim and proper Miss Jane Marple - is adored worldwide by mystery fans for her razor-sharp mind, intuitive understanding of criminal behavior and trademark knitting needles. A&E Home Video proudly presents the DVD Premiere of four feature-length mysteries from the BBC's beloved Miss Marple series. Starring the unwavering Joan Hickson as Miss Marple, these films present hours of great whodunits for all ages! A Caribbean Mystery: This tale finds Miss Marple in a most exotic location - vacationing in the West Indies. However, even paradise among the idle rich can prove a trifle dull to a pensioner in a tweed two-piece. Then, without warning, a tropical breeze blows an ill wind upon the Golden Palm Hotel, and Major Palgrave turns up dead. Immediately, the indomitable Miss Marple perks up and begins gathering the suspects. But with so many weird and wonderful guests lurking about the hotel, it seems that even the senior sleuth may have difficulty in cracking the case. When more bodies appear, time proves of the essence... The Mirror Cracked From Side To Side: There is a great excitement in the village of St. Mary Mead - American movie star Marina Gregg is in town with her husband to shoot a new picture. At her new home, Marina hosts an annual fete and invites the entire village. It is there that Heather Badcok inadvertently drinks a poison cocktail intended for Marina. Then a second killing occurs. Miss Marple soon uncovers deadly jealousies amongst the cast and crew that puts her hot on the trail of the killer... and Miss Marple's script does not call for getting away with murder! Sleeping Murder: When Giles and Gwenda Reed move into their dream house in a seaside resort, Gwenda finds herself haunted by the vision of a body in the hall. It takes Miss Marple's keen intuition to enlighten the Reeds: the imagined body is Gwenda's stepmother, thought to have run away long ago - but was in fact strangled when Gwenda herself lived in the house as a young child. Miss Marple is not about to let sleeping murders lie, especially not after a former maid is found murdered and Gwenda becomes the next potential victim. To put this one to rest, she'll have to awaken a killer. 4:50 From Paddington: On a jaunt to visit her friend Miss Marple, Elspeth McGillicuddy chances to glimpse a man strangling a woman on a passing train. Thus begins the extraordinary case of the 4:50 From Paddington. When police fail to turn u pa body, Miss McGillicuddy's ghastly observation is dismissed as the vivid imaginings of an elderly lady. But Miss Marple knows better than to doubt murder, and her search for the corpse leads her to stately Rutherford Hall, and to crusty old Luther Crackenthorpe, patriarch of a family with a dark past. With Miss Marple dissecting the clues, it's only a matter of time before she exposes the Crackenthorpes."--Container.
