Book Description
This book is a comprehensive exploration of 90 years of film and television adaptations of the world’s best-selling novelist’s work. Drawing on extensive archival material, it offers new information regarding both the well-known and forgotten screen adaptations of Agatha Christie’s stories, including unmade and rare adaptations, some of which have been unseen for more than half a century. This history offers intriguing insights into the discussions and debates that surrounded many of these screen projects – something that is brought to life through previously unpublished correspondence from Christie herself and a new wide-ranging interview with her grandson, Mathew Prichard. Agatha Christie on Screen takes the reader on a journey from little known silent film adaptations, through to famous screen productions including 1974’s Murder on the Orient Express, as well as the television series of the Poirot and Miss Marple stories and, most recently, the BBC’s acclaimed version of And Then There Were None.

Book Description
In utter disbelief, Miss Marple read the letter addressed to her from the recently deceased Mr. Rafiel—an acquaintance she had met briefly on her travels. He had left instructions for her to investigate a crime after his death. The only problem was, he had failed to tell her who was involved or where and when the crime had been committed. It was most intriguing. Soon she is faced with a new crime—the ultimate crime—murder. It seems someone is adamant that past evils remained buried. . . .

Book Description
This book, which I call The Other Films of Agatha Christie, is a collection of films made for TV and the cinema which do not deal with films including the characters of Miss Jane Marple and Hercule Poirot. These films and characters can be found in books I have previously written, called The Films of Hercule Poirot, and The Films of Miss Marple. I have also written a book entitled Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians on Film and TV, which compares the nearly dozen filmed versions of that novel. Herewith, we will find films that are NOT included in the above mentioned works. They include well-known film like Witness for the Prosecution, Endless Night, Ordeal By Innocence, and films and TV featuring the characters of Tommy and Tuppence. Also included is a 1982 television series called The Agatha Christie Hour, which dealt with short stories Christie wrote. These are psychological dramas, ghost stories and the like; many of them have no murders. There are more than 50 films included, with complete cast lists, story synopses, and photographs. I have also included several documentary films, as well as some relatively obscure foreign language films. Also the film Agatha starring Vanessa Redgrave as Agatha Christie. I would like to point out that some of the earlier films, and also early/foreign television, went out as live transmissions, so there is comparatively little information available on those productions.
