Beautiful, moving film.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

The good: well it has a jaunty theme song. At least it honors the original form in that the order we see things in is roughly the order of discovery by the detective.By this entry in the series, they had seriously lost their way. What genuinely started out as detective stories had morphed into humor-driven light entertainment. Characters are just silly. Slapstick appears for the first time.There is no deduction, only snooping. This Marple has no hard won village-centric wisdom. What she accidentally discovers, comes from the book she is reading that just so happens to be the pattern the murderer used. Once again, we have this old woman putting herself at risk, presuming that the murderer will confess to the hidden police before killing her.You should avoid this one.

George Pollock once again returned to direct Margaret Rutherford as Miss Jane Marple, Stringer Davis as Mr. Stringer, and Charles Tingwell as Inspector Craddock, in this original story not directly based on an Agatha Christie novel. Here, Miss Marple investigates the death of a fellow trustee member that leads to Maritime murder, and uses her trustee status to go on board a naval ship to investigate the murder, and reports that one of the officers is operating a crime ring from it, which of course leads to more murders... A bit of a step down from the first two pictures, being not as atmospheric, and a bit too much comedy, but still has a fine British cast to make it seaworthy.

Miss Marple (Margaret Rutherford) is summoned to join a meeting of trustees of a fund of rehabilitation of criminals. One of the trustees has just visited the training ship "Battledore" and wants to report his findings; however, when he inhales snuff, he has a heart attack and dies. Miss Marple notes that the snuff box is empty, but she collects a spilled sample and after a chemical analysis, she finds that the trustee was poisoned.Miss Marple goes to the Battledore to investigate and has a cold reception of Captain Sydney De Courcy Rhumstone (Lionel Jeffries). Soon she discovers that there are many thieves on board and a great embezzlement of the rehabilitation fund, in the middle of a series of murders."Murder Ahoy" is the last movie in the Warner box of DVDs and maybe it is the weakest adventure of the snoopy Miss Marple. However, the old lady fencing against the criminal makes the movie worth. The board of trustees telling that it is important the renewal with a younger member is hilarious. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Assassinato a Bordo" ("Murder on Board")

This outing has Miss Jane Marple becoming a trustee for the Battledore ship, when an uncle of hers dies of old age. She attends the next meeting and already another murder falls at her feet, when a fellow trustee, having something important to say about his latest visit to the Battledore, keeps getting interrupted by the speaker who has the floor and finally getting a chance to speak and taking a whiff of his snuff, he begins, but abruptly dies.Of course, Craddock and the "very brisk" doctor think the victim died naturally from a heart attack. But Miss Marple finds out through some spilled snuff that he was poisoned by strychnine. She is determined to go aboard the Battledore to find out what he was trying to relate to other trustees and apprehend the killer.Rutherford is great as usual, with witty lines abound, but this entry, costarring Lionel Jeffries and written expressly for the screen and not based on Agatha Christie material, is probably the weakest of the four in the series. But, you'll probably enjoy it anyway, with Marple and Mr. Stringer trying to keep two shakes ahead of Inspector Craddock.
