I've just finished watching the 1957 Agatha Christie's Witness For The Prosecution. Loved it. I don't remember watching the movie before but I was hit by this deja-vu feeling, that I had seen it and I knew exactly how it was going to turn out ( and I was right! ). I thought the movie was made from her stage-play and I know with certainty that I've never seen any of AC's plays before.
It turned out that it was originally a short story from her Hound of Death collection which I had read. Haha, and I thought that I was so well-versed with her stories that not only had I guessed the conclusion of the story correctly but had also accurately guessed how the story was going to play out lol.
Anyway, googling the movie up, I wasn't surprised to see that it had several nominations for that year's Oscar including Charles Laughton who played Sir Wilfrid. I thought he was the best thing in the movie!
Coming up next - Murder Is Easy. I was planning to watch The Murder of Roger Ackroyd first but I just found out that BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH was in it OMGOMG be still my heart!! I love Agatha Christie and I adore Benedict Cumberbatch ( at least, I adore Sherlock, I haven't seen the actor in anything else. Yet. ) and Murder Is Easy is one of my favourite AC's. I'm a happy girl.
Also, I've just found out that Emily Blunt was in Death In The Nile! I've seen the Peter Ustinov's one but not the Suchet's version yet. I'm so looking forward to watching that and Emily Blunt even though I don't remember Lynnet Doyle being one of my favourite characters from the book. And David Soul ( HUTCH!! ) was in it too. I'm a happy girl.
