Une colonie d'ex-patriotes d'Hollywood est arrivée pour filmer l'histoire de Marie, reine des Ecossais. D'anciens conflits font surface, de même qu'un corps. L'inspecteur Craddock est enchanté de découvrir que ses suspects ne sont nul autre que ses héros de film, mais sa tante préférée, la formidable Mrs Marple, célèbre détective, fait bientôt avancer l'enquête... (StudioCanal)

A fun and clever mystery that turns Agatha Christie’s classic detective story into a cynical, incredibly witty ride. Packed with way more one-liners than you'd ever expect from a British crime film from 1980.

The Mirror Crack’d will appeal to the viewer mainly thanks to the plethora of stars who give the film adaptation of the novel by the "Queen of Crime" a whole new dimension. Angela Lansbury certainly caught inspiration here for how to be the supremely nosy amateur investigator who would later "write murders". If you watch carefully, you will no trouble discovering the identity of the perpetrator, though the motive itself was (at least to me) quite shocking. I was surprised – and in a nice way – that the script included a number of sarcastic lines that one would not expect much in a film like this. The only thing that bothered me while watching it was the inappropriately chosen musical score. P.S. "Lola, dear, you know, there are really only two things I dislike about you. - Really? What are they? - Your face!"
