The scene is set in the Coronation year of 1953 and the archetypal English village of St. Mary Mead. All is as it should be until Hollywood arrives in the form of an internationally famous film cast, leading to much local excitement and an epidemic of sudden death to which local sleuth Miss Marple sets her mind.

Angela Lansbury takes over the legacy of Margaret Rutherford as Agatha Christie's dogged sleuth Miss Marple in The Mirror Crack'd.

The story takes place on a film set in a small British town in the 1950s.

Elizabeth Taylor plays a washed-up actress trying to make a comeback but is plagued by a mysterious incident from her past.

Unfortunately for her mental state, a collection of murders jar the quiet village where the movie is being made.

Miss Marple arrives on the scene with her nephew, Inspector Craddock (Edward Fox), to investigate.

In addition to Taylor, an assortment of other movie stars grace the roster of suspects, including Rock Hudson, Kim Novak, and Tony Curtis.
