The Mirror Crack'd (1980)

In the quaint English village of St. Mary Mead, nestled in the year 1953, the tranquil rhythm of life is disrupted as an illustrious American film company descends upon their serene landscape. This brings a surge of excitement to the quiet dwelling of the sharp-witted Miss Jane Marple, played by Dame Angela Lansbury. The film aims to unravel the complex relationship between historical figures Jane Grey and Elizabeth I, casting the fiercely competitive and equally famous actresses Marina Rudd, embodied by Dame Elizabeth Taylor, and Lola Brewster, played by Kim Novak. Marina Rudd sweeps into the village with her husband Jason, portrayed by Rock Hudson, only to be irked by the unexpected inclusion of her rival, Lola, in the film. Consequently, the tension between the two actresses is palpable and adds a layer of intrigue to the otherwise peaceful village. Amid this volatile atmosphere, Marina becomes the recipient of unnerving death threats. The plot thickens at a festive gathering celebrating the commencement of the film, when Heather Babcock, a local admirer of Marina, dies abruptly after consuming a cocktail intended for Marina. This tragic incident propels the local law enforcement into action, with Chief Inspector Dermot Craddock, portrayed by Edward Fox, leading the investigation. As the apparent target of the poisoning, Marina Rudd is thrust into a vortex of suspicion and drama. However, the astute Inspector Craddock is unconvinced and turns to his discerning aunt, Miss Jane Marple, to help untangle this intricate web of deceit. The duo embarks on a riveting journey to uncover the truth, navigating through a dense fog of enmity and secrecy. The Mirror Crack'd thus artfully weaves a tale of glamour, rivalry, and mystery, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats as they puzzle over the deadly cocktail and the identity of its intended victim.
