The forces behind the adaptations of Christie novels seemed to have a penchant for changing the plots and sometimes, even the murderer's identities, whenever the whim struck them. Then again, I should not have been surprised. However, I was surprised to learn that the 2010 movie bore very little resemblance to the original novel. I have come across other Miss Marple television movies in which the literary source did not feature her as the main character. Familiar with many of the author's novels, I knew that the former was not one that featured Jane Marple. But that does not mean one should completely dismiss the movie.Īlthough a long time fan of Christie's novels, I have never read "The Secret of Chimneys". The television movie bears little resemblance to the novel.
Anyone who has read Agatha Christie's 1925 novel, "The Secret of Chimneys", will be disappointed by the 2010 television adaptation that stars Julia McKenzie as Miss Jane Marple.
