  • Murder at the Gallop -- When a wealthy old man dies, Miss Marple (Margaret Rutherford) suspects murder and her investigation of the beneficiaries leads to a reclusive relative (Flora Robson) and some members of the local horse set, notably its blustering, autocratic leader (Robert Morley). Directed by George Pollock from an Agatha Christie mystery, the horse club setting furnishes a number of sinister characters as well as some deliciously amusing horseplay between the rubbery-faced Rutherford and the grimacing Morley before the killer is finally exposed. Enjoyable mystery fare with some menacing moments. (A-I) (br) ( 1963 )
