Written by garykmcd. When successful businessman Rex Fortescue is poisoned at his desk it appears to Inspector Neele that he has plenty of suspects to work with.

Of his children, Percival felt trapped below him in the business, Lance had a falling out with him and moved to East Africa while his daughter is clearly relieved that her father is dead. Things become more complex when Miss Marple: A Pocket Full of Rye the maid is also murdered — bringing in the attention of Miss Marple, former employee of Gladys. I shall leave it for others much better read than I to debate how "faithful" this film is to the source material because, to be blunt, I don't care. If I want something that is accurate and faithful to the book then I shall read the book — not watch an adapted version of the book, what I am looking for from the film is that it works, that it intrigues, that it entertains, that it thrills — really whatever it is trying to do, I hope it does it and that I like it, simple as. I was not so taken by previous ITV Marple films even if some of them did have light entertainment qualities that I appreciated, so I saw the new casting of Marple as a "reboot" of sorts for the series. In a way this is the case because A Pocket Full of Rye seems more interesting in the mystery and less interested in being camp and gaudy in the way the other films often did. So although we had some flamboyant touches and some "big" names in supporting roles, it never felt daft and these qualities were never overdone to the detriment of the film. So, in theory what it delivers is a solid piece of Sunday night drama. The mystery is not really open to the viewer to solve but it has enough going on in it so I was happy to follow along with Marple and the Inspector as they went about their business. It never gripped me but I was reasonably interested in it throughout and, as a basic approach to these next few films, it does offer me hope that they will be more reliable and sturdy as films. I cannot say the same for McKenzie though because although she didn't fill me with dread, she didn't give me much to be hopeful about either. Her take on Marple doesn't appear to be fit in anywhere. Again, not looking for brand loyalty, I'm happy to judge each as they Miss Marple: A Pocket Full of Rye on their own merits but with McKenzie it wasn't clear who she was trying to make her character as she just came over quite ordinary and bland — certainly all I took away from her role as Marple is the comfort that, should she ever be unavailable to finish a film mid- shoot then we can just get Jim Broadbent in drag and to anyone who says she doesn't look identical to Broadbent clearly is confusing him with someone else. Maybe she was playing it safe though, looking for somewhere middle where she sacrifices making the role her own in favour of not upsetting everyone but she does benefit from a support cast who also do the "solid but not showy" direction. I liked Macfadyen's turn as the Inspector while Graves delivers a good character without ever being camp or ridiculous. Little, Baxendale, the late Wendy Richards, Madeley, Haddock and others all match this as well and I thought the cast were well directed in terms of the tone that the film was aiming for. So nothing amazing but then it is not awful either. It is a solid murder mystery that holds a tone consistently well and is inoffensive without being bland or dull. I like this approach and will watch the remaining Marple films to see if they hold and build on this, but it must be said that on the basis of this first film, McKenzie's goal is to avoid upsetting anyone's vision of what Miss Marple should be by simply not doing anything in any specific direction.

Synopsis [ edit edit source ] When a handful of grain is found in the pocket of a murdered businessman, Miss Marple seeks a murderer with a penchant for nursery rhymes. Comparison with original story [ edit edit source ] may contain spoilers - click on expand to read The episode Miss Marple: A Pocket Full of Rye a faithful faithful adaptation of the original novel with a number of changes: Miss Ramsbottom is renamed Miss Henderson but fulfils the same role. The characters of Elaine Fortescue and Gerald Wright are deleted. Jennifer Fortescue has a separate bequest of 40, pounds in Rex Fortesque's will in this adaptation, a fact which gives her much more of a motive and makes her a plausible suspect. In the novel, it was Elaine who received a bequest. Miss Marple arrives early on scene than in the novel. Here she arrives just around time Adele and Gladys are killed. The police did not allow her into the grounds so she writes a note mentioning the nursery rhyme to Inspector Neele which he ignores and later regrets it. In Miss Marple: A Pocket Full of Rye novel, Miss Marple reads about the deaths of Adele and Gladys. She is let in by the police who suppose she is an elderly relative of the family. She talks to Miss Marple: A Pocket Full of Rye first who brings her to Inspector Neele. Miss Marple tells Neele about the rhyme in person. In the episode there is a big argument between Percival and Jennifer which Adele speculates is because Jennifer now has her own money after Rex's death. At the end of the show Jennifer states that she would be leaving Percival. Mrs Mackenzie is mentioned but does not appear Miss Marple: A Pocket Full of Rye the adaptation. Miss Marple says that she visited her but that her mind was almost completely gone and there was nothing useful to be learned from her. The ending in the adaptation differs significantly from the novel. Miss Marple tells Inspector Neele to stop them and he chooses to trust her. When Lance sees a police car shadowing them, he knows the game is up and stops the car annd confesses his crimes to Pat. When Pat is upset, Lance tells her to get out of the car. Lance tries to reverse the car to get away but a lorry crashes into his car and kills him. In the original Miss Marple simple tells Neele her conclusions. Inspector Neele is left with the challenge of assembling the evidence against Lance. However on returning to St Mary Mead, Miss Marple finds a letter from Gladys with a photograph, thus giving the evidence that is needed. There is a letter to Miss Marple in this adaptation. She then wrote a letter but never got round to posting it before she got killed. Miss Marple in going through the things in Gladys' room did not find the letter. Perhaps it had been posted but the episode did not show her receiving it--from the plot point of view it was unnecessary because the murderer had already died in a traffic collision. Categories :.
