The Mirror Crack'd is a 1980 murder mystery film starring Angela Lansbury, Tony Curtis, and Rock Hudson. Based on the Agatha Christie novel of the same name, the film tells a gripping story of murder and intrigue in the quaint village of St. Mary Mead. The movie begins with the arrival of Hollywood actress Marina Rudd, played by Elizabeth Taylor, in the village of St. Mary Mead, where she has come to film her latest movie. She is received by the villagers with equal parts awe and suspicion, given her glamorous reputation and rumored connection to the mysterious death of a local woman years earlier.

As Marina begins filming, a series of odd and unsettling events occur in the village. First, Heather Babcock, an eccentric resident known for her wild imagination, claims to have witnessed a murder. Then, Marina receives a bottle of poisoned perfume, and another one of her co-stars is found dead in her dressing room.

As the string of deaths continues, amateur sleuth Miss Jane Marple, played by Angela Lansbury, becomes embroiled in the investigation, alongside the local police force led by Inspector Craddock, played by Edward Fox. Together, they begin to uncover a web of secrets and lies that implicates just about everyone in the village.

With a star-studded cast, including not only Taylor but also Tony Curtis, Rock Hudson, and Kim Novak, The Mirror Crack'd is a visually stunning film that captures the essence of Christie's suspenseful writing. Set in 1950s England, the film features stunning costumes and beautiful scenery that transports the viewer back in time.

Despite its all-star cast and cinematic elegance, The Mirror Crack'd is at heart a classic murder mystery. With plenty of red herrings, unexpected twists and turns, and a satisfying reveal, the film will keep viewers on the edge of their seats until the very end.

But the movie also has a deeper message. In addition to being a murder mystery, it is also a reflection on the corrosive effects of fame and the lengths people will go to achieve it. Marina Rudd, with her glamorous lifestyle and history of scandal, is a cautionary tale of what happens when ambition and fame become all-consuming.

All in all, The Mirror Crack'd is a classic film that is not to be missed, whether you're a fan of Christie's writing or simply enjoy a good old-fashioned whodunit. With stellar performances from some of the biggest names in Hollywood, stunning visuals, and a compelling story, it is a movie that has stood the test of time and remains relevant to this day.

The Mirror Crack'd is a 1980 mystery with a runtime of 1 hour and 45 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.2.
