N.p. [London: Elstree Studios/ABPC], 1961. [Literary and cinematic critique] Elstree Studios' report of the detective novel The Pale Horse. 4pp., typed report on ABPC headed paper, rectos only, reader's delivery stamp to first page dated 9 October 1961. Report: Perforations down left edge from office binding. Very well preserved. Book: with some dustiness, signs of handling, small nicks. Very good. Agatha Christie's The Pale Horse was published by Collins Crime Club on 6th November 1961; ABPC at Elstree received their copy one month earlier, and Common's report was ready two days after publication. November 1961, is very favourable. A detailed, two-page synopsis is followed by a succinct and unequivocal recommendation: 'This one has excellent filmic possibilities, I consider. Make an offer.' No film version followed but the story has been adapted twice for television, the first time in 1996 for ITV, and the second in 2010 as part of the Agatha Christie's Marple series, also for ITV, with Julia McKenzie in the title role.
