Agatha (1979)


A fictional account of the real life, eleven day, never explained 1926 disappearance of famed murder mystery writer Agatha Christie.

What could have been an interesting mystery with a great cast turns out to be a not too exciting romance.

Halliwell*: "Lushly recreated but still imaginary and unconvincing solution to a real-life disappearance, complete with romantic encounter with an American newspaperman."

Maltin***: "...Redgrave is superb in this absorbing yarn, Hoffman miscast as smooth American reporter who tracks her down."
