When his lawyer discovers that the old will has been stolen too, the dead man is declared intestate. On the same night he confides to Poirot that he is terminally ill and wants the detective to be executor of his estate, he is lured out of the house and murdered before he can write the new document. He announces that he is going to alter his will and leave 100% of the estate to his ward. Marsh's sexist attitudes change over the years as Violet grows into a lovely, independent young woman and publisher of a feminist magazine. He conspicuously omits his young ward Violet Wilson on the chauvinistic grounds that girls will be provided for by their husbands. You're still better off reading an authentic Christie novel, but "The Truth of Murder" certainly isn't a waste of time.In 1926, rich but childless Andrew Marsh writes a will providing generous bequests to friends, associates, and their children while leaving the bulk of his estate to a medical foundation. None of the performances are highly memorable, but the entire cast does their best. The anti-climax actually fits the plot rather well. Throughout that point, the click fueled mass hypothesis as 1000’s of law enforcement officials and volunteers looked for Christie. The plot isn't exactly plausible, but it's nice to see how the writers attempt to hint at the possible origin of famous Agatha Christie stories that followed after 1926, like the luring of guests to a remote location (And Then There Were None - 1939) and the train settings for "4.50 from Paddington" and "Murder on the Orient Express". Agatha Christie had came upon that her husband was once having an affair, and when that wisdom become public, she vanished for 11 days. When she's literally begged to help solving the real-life murder of nurse Florence Nightingale, who got brutally bludgeoned to death on a train six years earlier, she sees an opportunity to both escape her personal problems and to perform research and seek inspiration for her work. Her husband Archie insists for a divorce, so that he can marry his much younger mistress, and she suffers from a writer's block because her fans always guess the identity of the culprit of her stories via the wrong method. The 36-year-old Agatha Christie balances on the verge of a massive depression in 1926. At first, I was reluctant to see this, but I'm glad I did because it's a compelling and well-acted, albeit largely inconspicuous little film. This modest made-for-TV production is a fictional tale about where she could have been, much like the 1979-film "Agatha", directed by Michael Apted and starring Vanessa Redgrave and Dustin Hoffman.
Multiple speculations arose, but the true circumstances and reason of her disappearance were never fully clarified. An impressive search party followed, and she was eventually located in a hospital supposedly with amnesia. In 1926, Christie disappeared for a period of eleven days. I worship her novels & short stories, love the flamboyant film-adaptations of her most famous books and am fascinated with the enigmatic facts of her personal life. I know that's not an official term, but what else would you call someone who's literally obsessed with everything regarding the legendary female mystery-author. Yours truly is a genuine Agatha-Christiephile. And where would be the fun in that? There'd be nothing to groom, for a start.Īgatha Christie: Thank you for your time. A woman might just present the hole and have done. But thinking about it, how could I have been so stupid? Imagine a woman being able to design the preamble to putting something small in a hole. No matter how capable that woman is.Īgatha Christie: I see. But really, the sheer complexity of a designer's task is beyond the capabilities of a woman. I understand there has been a trend of late for ladies to golf. Sir Hugh Persimmion: There isn't a golf club I know that would commission a design from a woman.
Sir Hugh Persimmion: Well, in that case, I'm afraid my answer's quite short. Agatha Christie: I want to design a golf course.
