A Caribbean Mystery by Agatha Christie - Screen Special
Manage episode 431109313 series 2572356
We discuss various screen adaptations of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple story, 'A Caribbean Mystery'. As is often the case with Christie's less renowned stories, the writers of adaptations take creative license that either makes things better, or makes things "better". This time around, Flex brought us the ever-reliable BBC adaptation; Agatha Christie's Miss Marple starring Joan Hickson, and Herds brought the French reimagining, Les Petits Meurtres D'Agatha Christie. Where one absorbs the flaws of the novel and reimagines them to tell arguably a stronger story, the other takes absurdities and turns it comedic. What remake did you watch?
