Murder Ahoy!
Murder Ahoy!
is the last of four Miss Marple films made by Metro- Goldwyn- Mayer that starred Margaret Rutherford.
As in the previous three, the actress plays Agatha Christie's amateur sleuth Miss Jane Marple, with Charles' Bud' Tingwell as( Chief) Inspector Craddock and Stringer Davis( Rutherford's real- life husband) playing Mr Stringer.
The film was made in 1964 and directed by George Pollock, with David Pursall and Jack Seddon credited with the script.
The music was by Ron Goodwin.
Location shots included Denham Village and St Mawes, Cornwall.
Unlike the previous three films that were adapted from Christie novels –" The 4.50 from PaddingtonMurder, She Said" – the only Miss Marple novel used)," After the Funeral"( a Poirot mystery, adapted for Miss Marple with the title" Murder at the Gallop") and" Mrs. McGinty's Dead"( another Poirot novel, adapted as" Murder Most Foul") – this film used an original screenplay that was not based on any of Christie's stories.
It does, however, employ elements of the Miss Marple story" They Do It With Mirrors".
Specifically, the" Battledore" is a training ship for teenage boys with criminal tendencies, who are supposedly being set on the straight and narrow path – when, in fact, one of the members of the crew is training them for careers in housebreaking.
Likewise, in" They Do It With Mirrors", Lewis Serrocold is running his wife's mansion, Stonygates, as a boarding school for delinquent youths, to straighten out their lives – but, in fact, he is training selected students to hone their criminal skills, not to give them up.
That is the only element borrowed into the film from a Christie story.
There is also an entirely tongue- in- cheek reference to" The Mousetrap", the Christie play that has been running continuously on the West End since 1952.
Audiences who see" The Mousetrap" are asked to keep the ending a secret, so it is amusing when Rutherford's Miss Marple says that she's reading a" rattling- good detective yarn" and" I hope I wo n't be giving" too" much away if I say the answer is a mousetrap!"
She then notes that she'll" say no more – otherwise, I'll spoil it for you!"

Ashes and Diamonds (film)
Ashes and Diamonds( Polish: Popiół i diament) is a 1958 Polish drama film directed by Andrzej Wajda, based on the 1948 novel by Polish writer Jerzy Andrzejewski.
Starring Zbigniew Cybulski and Ewa Krzyżewska, it completed Wajda's war films trilogy, following" A Generation"( 1954) and" Kanal"( 1956).
The action of" Ashes and Diamonds" takes place in 1945, shortly after World War II.
The main protagonist of the film, former Home Army soldier Maciek Chełmicki, is acting in the anti-Communist underground.
Maciek receives an order to kill Szczuka, the local secretary of the Polish Workers' Party.
Over time, Chełmicki increasingly doubts if his task is worth doing.
" Ashes and Diamonds", although based on the novel which directly supported the postwar Communist system in Poland, was subtly modified in comparison with the source material.
Wajda sympathized with the soldiers of the Polish independence underground; thus, he devoted most of the attention to Chełmicki.
During the three- month development of" Ashes and Diamonds", the director made drastic changes to the baseline scenario, thanks to his assistant director Janusz Morgenstern, as well as Cybulski, who played the leading role.
The film received permission from the authorities to be distributed only through Andrzejewski's intercession.
The film did not receive permission to be screened at the main competition at the Cannes Film Festival.
However," Ashes and Diamonds" appeared at the Venice Film Festival, where it won the FIPRESCI award.
At first," Ashes and Diamonds" met positive critical reception, both in Poland and worldwide.
However, after the Revolutions of 1989, it was criticized for falsifying the collective memory of Polish partisans.
Nevertheless, the film maintained the reputation of one of the most famous Polish motion pictures in history.
