Murder at the Gallop (1963)

Who plays Cora Lansquenet character?

[8/10 · 5 December 2007]

Can a charitable soul let me know the name of the actress who plays Cora Lansquenet's part as I cannot find it in any credits? Many thanks in advance.

On the other hand, I regret they replaced Poirot with Marple and I feel they regrettably removed some complexities from the original plot by Agatha Christie.

That said the movie is a good piece of British humor I like very much.

I feel such movies should be required watching for any person studying English!

My tuppence of advice!

36th Precinct (2004)

A homage not only to Mann's Heat

[8/10 · 12 June 2005]

I agree that this movie is actually a good surprise.

I particularly appreciated performances of actors, as well the famous Auteuil, Depardieu, and Dussollier as the supporting characters, who normally should get more famous in further movies, if they keep doing the good job as they have done in that movie!

I just would like to point to the fact that Marchal does not only pay homage to Heat, but to other thrillers as well, including French Le Doulos by Melville, since a character is named Silien, which is the name of Belmondo in Melville's film.

Other readers may have noticed other clues about classical thrillers. I would be happy to read them.
