I've got the theme on 7" by Ron Goodwin from 1960[ish]. It's incorrectly titled Murder She Says

I had the good fiortune to see Goodwin in concert in the 1990s. As well as being an excellent film composer he was a brilliant racconteur and had the audience enthralled with his tales of the film world.

I always enjoy watching Margaret Rutherford in the Miss Marple film series. She made the character, I felt more than any other actress that has portrayed Miss Marple.

We have cable and when I see that there is a Miss Marple film with Ms Rutherford on TCM-I switch straight over and watch it.

She is no longer with us, but her spirit lives on in her films. I often wondered what she would have been like to meet in person. The lovely nature she portrayed on screen as Miss Marples made her so endearing to watch.

To me there is nobody else that can portray Miss Marples, and there never will be.

She's always going to be my favorite Miss Marple, but I am heartened by some of the other fine portrayals. Rutherford's films instill a relish - at least for me - that none of the other performers achieve. I like a lot of other Marple works, Margaret catches my attention.

I am struggling with BLITHE SPIRIT of late because it doesn't follow the pacing or flightiness during the last portion of the film, replacing the tone with a meanness once Margaret's character is no longer on-screen. But that distinction only makes Margaret's contribution even more significant.

The CD is available from Amazon at Amazon.co.uk: Miss Marple/Lancelot/Force 10..... [German Import]: Music: Ron Goodwin

The CD liner notes are also great fun, with lots of Danish translation errors - as an example - the director Anthony Asquith is renamed Anthony Asquits and Margaret is called Lady Rutherford!
