Trivia:
In the opening minutes, as Miss Marple stares in wonderment at the lobby of Bertram's Hotel, the manager is on the phone and says, "Uh, no, I'm afraid Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today." The line is from the 1934 Cole Porter song "Miss Otis Regrets" performed by many artists including Ella Fitzgerald and 'Nat ‘King’ Cole' , and more recently by Bette Midler on the final episode of "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" (1962). moreGoofs:
Anachronisms: In the scenes on the hotel roof, a modern siren/ alarm /loudspeaker can be seen attached to the building (approx 1980s or later technology). moreFAQ

While this is one of the most visually atmospheric and beautiful Marples ever, it is almost incredibly difficult to follow, particularly in its early, expository stretches. The reason is the booming, obtrusive scoring, so loud that the dialogue is very difficult to hear at all, much less make sense of. This has become a common fault of Granada productions. I do wish someone would have a few words with the sound mixer- something along the lines of, "People have to be able to hear the ruddy actors!" Things improve a bit towards the end, but in the earlier part of the film, prior knowledge of Christie's original novel is essential to an understanding of what's going on underneath all that booming, blasting, blaring music.
