Agatha Christie on screen - Mark Aldridge

This book is a comprehensive exploration of 90 years of film and television
adaptations of the world's best-selling novelist's work. Drawing on extensive
archival material, it offers new information regarding both the well-known and
forgotten screen adaptations of Agatha Christie's stories, including unmade
and rare adaptations, some of which have been unseen for more than half a
century. This history offers intriguing insights into the discussions and
debates that surrounded many of these screen projects - something that is
brought to life through previously unpublished correspondence from Christie
herself and a new wide-ranging interview with her grandson, Mathew Prichard. Agatha
Christie on Screen takes the reader on a journey from little known silent
film adaptations, through to famous screen productions including 1974's Murder
on the Orient Express, as well as the television series of the Poirot and
Miss Marple stories and, most recently, the BBC's acclaimed version of And
Then There Were None.
