[Screenplay] Murder With Mirrors. Film script.

CHRISTIE, Agatha (1890-1976) [BOND, Julian, adaptation].

Burbank: Warner Bros., 1984. [Film material] Vintage original production-used script for the film adaptation based on the best-selling novel by Agatha Christie. Octavo (28 x 22cm), pp.117, mimeograph, in textured light blue card wrappers with die-cut title window, bound internally with two clasps. Minor annotations to title page. Accompanied by a 7pp. shooting schedule for the film, with a few annotations. Numbered copy 38 to front wrapper, which bears a presentation inscription in an unknown hand. A used yet well preserved copy. Stated 'Final Draft. August 27, 1984'. A Warner movie based on Agatha Christie's novel, starring Helen Hayes as Miss Marple and a cast of suspects including Bette Davis, John Mills, Dorothy Tutin and Leo McKern. This was Helen Hayes' second outing in the role (after A Caribbean Mystery in 1983), and her final film. She made her first in 1910... The unsigned and less than complimentary presentation across the front wrapper is (appropriately) a mystery, but reads like the inscription of either a self-deprecating writer, or an exasperated actor (The presence here of the film's shooting schedule suggests the latter).
