Episode 97 - Murder At The Gallop

December 30, 2017 by Matthew Johnson

We're joined by a special guest this episode, Hailey, my daughter and Bob's grand-daughter!

Hailey and I watched "Murder At The Gallop" on Christmas Eve together. A totally fun way to spend the evening! We can't get enough of the scene with the cat jumping out of the closet.

I mean, check out the screen grab of that amazing cat!

Now that is one scary cat

Anyway, this movie is a hoot. We all three really enjoyed Margaret Rutherford's take on the Miss Marple character. Hailey coined a phrase to describe Miss Marple "Detective, Social Justice Warrior, and Hot Mama!"

Turns out Bob really does think she's a Hot Mama! And so does Hector Enderby played marvelously by Robert Morley. And wow, check out his eyebrows. Impressive!

The movie is excellently directed by George Pollock who was an Assistant Director on "Brief Encounter" which Bob and I reviewed in Episode 16.

Happy New Year!

Here's the IMDB page for "Murder At The Gallop"

Up next.... well, we haven't decided yet. We have several suggestions and we'll probably chose one of those. So stay tuned!
