Warning: spoilers for the end of Endless Night. We might not trust him any more, but there are a few chapters to go before we get the final revelation, and everything we have read is turned on its head. Endless Night: On a visit to a recently widowed friend, Miss Marple meets Mike Rogers, a handsome chauffeur with big dreams for his future and tragedy in his past. Summary: While consoling her recently-widowed friend Marjorie, Miss Marple crosses paths with the handsome Mike Rogers, a young worker with a penchant for daydreaming about his future, more specifically about the perfect house he would live in, built on the eerily beautiful Gypsy's Acre. Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube. Our best wishes for a productive day. Quite an usual episode in the Marple series with the impeccable Julia McKenzie. Superficially, Michael Rogers’ account of his marriage to Ellie Goodman sounds like a good situation. Yes, Miss Marple seems completely extraneous to the story at first, but ultimately I think she was used quite strategically: she appears only occasionally for the most part to collect information, and she steps forward only at the end, when she's necessary for the exposure of the criminal elements. But it is also the first sign of Michael’s strangeness, and the deeper we go, the odder he seems. As soon as one makes that shift, "Endless Night" begins to reward attention. There are a few things to quibble over. I was delighted that the house was as strikingly modern as it is in the book although I wish they had left Mike's friend with his book name - Santonix is so memorable! Such a character was probably the sensible creation of an experienced 76-year-old author, who didn’t want to make a fool of herself in trying to present a 1960s hipster. The plot sees our narrator, Michael, setting his sights on a ruined old house in the country which is subject to a gypsy curse. He starts off as a charmer. Miss Marple seems to have been crammed into the plot with the jaws of life. So who on earth thought it would be a good idea to combine the two?
They fall in love and get married. The couple builds a beautiful Modernist mansion on a supposedly cursed land in spite of an old gypsy's warning. The quality of the adaptations are mixed, there are some faithful adaptations(The Mirror Crack'd, A Caribbean Mystery and Pocketful of Rye) and then there are others(At Bertram's Hotel and especially Why Didn't They Ask Evans) where you can barely recognise the original story.
She harangues any potential buyer of Gypsy's Acre, forespelling all manner of ill fortune for those that live there.
Tragedy soon strikes, but as luck would have it Miss Marple is staying nearby with her recently widowed old friend Mrs Phillpot. The 6th season like the other seasons haven't been consistent across the board, Caribbean Mystery was excellent, Greenshaw's Folly was a brave if not entirely successful attempt at merging more than one story into one but it was Endless Night that was the most underwhelming of the season. Was £208 per room per now now only £79 By the time Michael bleakly declares “everything was empty, very empty indeed”, I was fully invested in this unpleasant man and his horrible story. Hughes gives a good account of the character, but it would have been nice to have found a more plausible reason for his nature other than a simple mother-fixation. They run into each again, in Rome: Michael with his new wife, the wealthy American heiress Ellie, Marple with her widowed friend. Then he meets Ellie, a wealthy American oil heiress, and his fortunes change.
*** out of 4. Miss Marple visits her recently widowed friend Marjorie, during her time at Kingston Bishop she meets a handsome chauffeur, Mike Rogers. It was a terrible idea to bring Miss Marple into Endless Night, especially as it was done here.
Especially as presented here, as a way to escape from the world, to hole up with someone who loves you in a house you have designed by a genius architect.
We have been reading about a murder from the very start: everything that has gone before is a curious and unsettling account of a crime being committed. Last modified on Wed 21 Aug 2019 07.58 EDT.
Of course, soon afterwards, Ellie meets her tragic fate, leaving Michael desperate but determined. There was also, arguably, too much going on. Christie is always good on the glamour of easy money. David Brown has some crucial tips for those wanting to follow in Poirot and Miss Marple's footsteps and hunt down the killer, E3 I have to admit to finding ENDLESS NIGHT almost endless in terms of its length. I guess this film is my punishment for all the times when I bemoaned Christie adaptations not being clear enough to allow me to follow along at the same pace as the detectives, because here there is nothing in the shadows to distract you, nothing to lead you down a dead end – only a steady march towards a solution. Murder mystery, starring Julia McKenzie, with Wendy Craig, Glynis Barber, Hugh Dennis, Tamzin Outhwaite, Tom Hughes, Joanna Vanderham, Aneurin Barnard, William Hope and Janet Henfrey.
There he meets a beautiful woman called Ellie, who has the same dream and they fall in love and quickly marry and also buy the home and build their dream house. So when the (first) corpse appears, it is one of the least surprising things in the book – and something of a relief.
You can't write 100 great books but Christie still managed to write at least a dozen classics, which is pretty amazing.
The majority of these TV Marple adaptations are excellent but this is pretty awful.

If there is anything nasty about Endless Night, it is Michael. ENDLESS NIGHT, published in 1967 in the UK as a Collins Crime Club selection, was the 60th detective/mystery novel written by Dame Agatha Christie (1890-1976) who wrote 66 such works. Apparently she went to stay with Wendy Craig's character for many, many months, including going with her on a trip to Rome, where by a massive coincidence she meets up again with the chauffeur with whom she had struck up an unlikely conversation in the street back in England.
Even the actors don't seem to care--the leading actress seems bored by her role and her American accent is dreadful. During the scenes set in the house, I almost forgot we were in 50s Marple-land.
Already have an account with us? And, it's not even a Marple mystery.
Agatha Christie's Marple (or simply Marple) is a British ITV television programme loosely based on the books and short stories by British crime novelist Agatha Christie.The title character was played by Geraldine McEwan from the first to the third series, until her retirement from the role, and by Julia McKenzie from the fourth series onwards.
| Some of the acting is so bad that I found myself making excuses for the actors -- like there being no motivation for their characters' bizarre behavior. Who wouldn’t want to be catapulted into this world of the super-rich? Endless Night IS an Agatha Christie story. There’s something seductive about the idea of this young man with a head full of dreams who doesn’t want to follow the path laid out for him by his determinedly “respectable” working-class mother, and who manages to get what he wants by falling in love with a rich heiress. It feels tacky – especially when the insults about Gypsies begin to mount up.
FAQ It is a standalone novel (not a Poirot nor Miss Marple) written in three parts. She usually has plenty of back up before she wanders into a dangerous situation.
It's just a long, drawn-out story that could have been told in about 15 minutes, instead of a tedious and boring hour and a half.
