George Pollock returned to direct this second case of older but still lively Miss Jane Marple(played by Margaret Rutherford). Her librarian friend Mr. Stringer(played by Stringer Davis) and Inspector Craddock(played by Charles Tingwell) also return. Here, Miss Marple is going door to door collecting for a charity when she enters the home of an old wealthy recluse, who promptly appears, falling down the front stairs and dying of a heart attack. Convinced it was murder, Miss Marple investigates as the man's relatives gather, and more murders occur... Strangely based on a Hercule Poirot novel "After The Funeral", this is a fine sequel all around, with a similar story and atmosphere.
