- QuizAt this time of her career, Dame Elizabeth Taylor's career was in the doldrums. She was 48 years old, hadn't had a decent hit film in years, her marriage to US politician John Warner was struggling, she was taking anti-depressants, and she had put on weight. When Rock Hudson was approached to do the film, he said he would only do it if his long-time friend Taylor could also be cast. The producers had assumed that Taylor's salary demands would put the film well over budget and were lining up Donald Pleasence as a possible alternative to Hudson. However, Hudson said that he could get Taylor to agree to star with him for the same salary he was being offered. Hudson convinced Taylor that coming to England for a few weeks to do a mainstream film with him, Dame Angela Lansbury, and Tony Curtis (people Taylor had known for about 30 years) would be beneficial for her mental health, plus give her a chance to catch up with old friends who lived there.

Recensione in evidenza
They gathered an amazing celebrity cast for this, many of whom were top Hollywood draws in their younger years.
Unfortunately the performances are really inconsistent which takes the shine off things.
Liz Taylor is probably the biggest name and also the most variable. In some scenes she is fantastic, in others she is barely there, with a predilection for delivering her lines under a "beauty light" which I doubt was the director's choice.
Rock Hudson stands out and is the heart of the story. Kim Novak has the funniest lines as Taylor's siren rival. Tony Curtis is good too.
But Angela Lansbury's Jane Marple simply isn't on screen enough, with Edward Fox's wooden police officer doing far too much of the in-person investigation before Miss Marple weaves her magic.
And the reveal, although authentic to the book, is a bit too unexpected to be really satisfying.
