The Mirror Crack'd (1980) ***

The Mirror Crack'd (1980) was the third of four Agatha's Christie adaptations—following 1974's Murder On The Orient Express (my review here) and 1978's Death On The Nile (my review here)—made by producers John Brabourne and Richard Goodwin. It's my least favorite of the three mentioned (I have yet to see 1982's Evil Under The Sun), and I have to admit to being a much bigger fan of Hercule Poirot as protagonist (as good as Angela Lansbury is as Miss Marple here). 

But there is of course another great ensemble cast (though not as large or as well-known as the previous two Brabourne/Goodwin Christies), some choice one-liners including humor that pokes fun at both the cast of this film and other associated actors, and frequent Bond director Guy Hamilton does a solid job. The best and most amusing part of the film though (and honestly the main draw were I to revisit this one) is easily the catty, campy quarrels between Elizabeth Taylor and Kim Novak.
