Description: Joan Hickson stars as Agatha Christie's most beloved character, the prim and proper Miss Marple, in this classic whodunit. 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 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 dead and Gwenda becomes the next potential victim. To put this case to rest, Miss Marple will have to awaken a killer.
Amazon.com: The adorable newly wed couple Giles and Gwenda Reed move into their dream house in Devonshire, but when the honeymoon is over, Gwenda is plagued by visions of a body in the hall. She also seems to know places where doors have been plastered over and garden stairs have been covered with shrubs and beds of daffodils. But Gwenda has never been to England before. Indeed, she is wet behind the ears having just gotten off the boat from New Zealand. How does Gwenda know the house so well? Why does she keep seeing the vision of a body in the hall? This mystery appears like an old-fashioned ghost story, including phantom bodies and moaning apparitions, but luckily Miss Marple (Joan Hickson), or the "puzzle solver," as her nephew so affectionately calls her, comes to the rescue of the tortured victims to solve the mystery behind Gwenda's eerie visions. --Samantha Allen Storey

The movie begins with newlyweds Gwenda Reed (Geraldine Alexander) and Giles Reed (John M. Brown) deciding to buy a large home called "Hillside" located by the seaside in England. Once they settle in, Gwenda seems to have incidents ... Read More
