- TriviaChristopher Villiers and Jay Villiers, brothers in real life, play brothers in this episode.
- GoofsIn the opening shots of the Savoy Hotel, numerous national flags are shown flying above the entrance. The Canadian Red Maple Leaf flag is clearly visible. Unfortunately, the time setting of the film predates the adoption of the Canadian flag in 1965. This time setting is borne out by a reference by one of the characters as claiming to be the son of a very important and busy man, Winston Churchill. Churchill died in February of 1965 and the Canadian flag was adopted later that same year. So if Churchill was alive and, a busy and important man, the Flag of Canada would have been a red ensign bearing the Canadian Shield not the red Maple Leaf Flag.

Featured review
Miss Marple is the best of friends with two aging sisters. One sister, who thinks the other is in danger, has Miss Marple to pay a timely visit. Upon arriving she encounters a host of garden variety misfits and reform school types, along with their keepers, sharing the estate grounds with her friend. All of this makes for a genuinely great plot that includes the murder of the family Patriarch by which Miss Marple further sharpens her already keenly honed crime solving acumen.
This is one of the better TV-Movie adaptations that preserves the plot from novel to the screen. The screenplay flows well, has no obvious holes or gaps, the acting is grade A, and the Directing is Superb. I highly recommend this particular film as one of the BEST Miss Marple TV-Movies ever!!!
