Murder with Mirrors

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Murder with Mirrors is a 1985 TV movie based on the Dame Agatha Christie mystery novel, They Do It with Mirrors. The film is set in a youth detention centre run by a charitable American educationalist in England.

It stars Helen Hayes as Miss Marple and Bette Davis as her old American friend from their days touring Italy as young ladies. Miss Marple is called on to investigate possible causes of her friend's deteriorating health. However, as Miss Marple keeps her friend company, her attention is soon diverted as she stumbles over a dead body. A murderer is at large in a house of suspects, and a race against time begins.

The film marks Helen Hayes' last appearance as Miss Marple; indeed, it was her last film role. There is a more recent dramatisation with Joan Hickson as Miss Marple, adopting the title of the novel "They Do It With Mirrors".

It also stars John Mills, Leo McKern and Dorothy Tutin
