caribbean mystery be a good book by agatha christie and but i wouldn not go to say it be one of her best . it be worth the read and but i do prefer murder be announce and sleep murder out of the marple book . this adaptation while take some liberty with the book and be the best adaptation and and yes i do prefer it over the helen hayes version . the adaptation be beautifully shot and with lovely camera work and the scenery be colourful and very please to the eye . the music be well compose and fit nicely with what go on on screen and if careful not to overshadow the action in those crucial scene . the script and plot be solid and while take liberty with the book . speaking of the change and i like the idea of miss marple visit the chambermaid aunt and however some other change like the dead come back from the dead seem far fetch and do not quite work . the adaptation also be rather lengthy and and there be some sluggish pacing in the middle half . on the plus side though and aside from how it be film and the good plot and script and we be also treat to a first rate cast . joan hickson be as wonderful as ever a miss marple and and donald pleasance make the most out of his role a jason rafiel . sue lloyd be suitably nasty a lucy dyson and and t. p. mckenna be good a dr grahame . adrian lukis and sophie ward be a little on the dull side a the kendall though . i will say the final solution be very effective . overall and a worthwhile diversion and not so bad a an adaptation either . if you want a good hickson marple adaptation though and try murder be announce and sleep murder . positive bethany cox .
