Murder at the Gallop

An old man's sudden death is officially a heart attack. Murder at the Gallop (1963) is a British mystery-comedy you can watch online on iFILM — the second in George Pollock's four-film Miss Marple series, starring Margaret Rutherford.

Miss Marple isn't buying the verdict. With the police unwilling to look further, she goes undercover — booking herself into the riding establishment where the dead man spent his final days and working through a cast of suspicious relatives with designs on the estate. Robert Morley and Flora Robson are among the suspects; Stringer Davis plays her quietly loyal companion. Rutherford's Miss Marple is nothing like the prim figure in Christie's pages — she's cheerful and quick on her feet, turning the investigation into something that plays more like comedy than crime.
