    • Trivia
      Dame Margaret Rutherford undertook a month of fencing practice for this movie's denouement.
    • Goofs
      The 'messages' sent by both Miss Marple and Mr. Stringer bear no resemblance to Morse code and are just random flashes of light. The actual messages sent at approximately the speed of the flashes would have taken over a minute, which is presumably too long in movie time.

    Margaret Rutherford on the High Seas

    I always enjoy a chance to see any of the four Murder mysteries Margaret Rutherford made during the 1960's as Agatha Christie's Miss. Marple. While she doesn't fit the traditional description, she is a hoot to watch! I think these are all great fun, and she is just a classic!
