Trivia
The plot is loosely based on the short story "Greenshaw's Folly" (1956), which was first published in the newspaper Daily Mail from 3 to 8 December, 1956. It was collected in book form in the short story collection "The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding and a Selection of Entrées" (1960), the only Christie first edition published in the UK that contains stories with both Hercule Poirot and Jane Marple.

Goofs
The button found in the reporter's hand is reported to bear the fingerprint of Albert the gardener. However, during the summing up at the end of the program, the button is shown being placed in the reporter's hand by Mrs Creswell, which means that the button would also have the fingerprints of Mrs Cresswell on it.

Quotes
Miss Marple: I'd like you to do something for me.
Inspector Welch: And what would that be?
Miss Marple: A postmortem.
Inspector Welch: But you're still alive Miss. Marple. We generally reserve postmortems for dead people.
Miss Marple: [smiling at the comeback] Very good.
[She nods before continuing]

Miss Marple

Joan Hickson is my epitome of Miss Marple--- although Helen Hayes was also fabulous. The newer actresses are quite good--- but I READ. Miss Marple should drive my crazy, and Hicksion did! Those mental leaps that I couldn't predict; amazing. The police officers admitting that she annoys them, BUT she turns out to be correct. Fantastic! Also, Hickson was the correct AGE for the character.( Yes, that does matter! ) There was a movie about an actress who was exposed to measles when she was pregnant; the actress was excellent, but I need to check for the name! I am pleased when I can solve mysteries, BUT I require that I have to THINK to solve them! ( One of the reasons respect Christie.)
