Avis à la une
This TV movie was even better than the Murder She Wrote series itself. I would have thought that Angela Lansbury's acting abilities may have declined with her advanced age, but they seem to have gotten better. The plot as great, and all of the actors fit their roles perfectly.
Does anyone know where I can purchase a copy of this Murder, She Wrote: The Celtic Riddle? I would love to have one.
Angela Lansbury is one of my favorite actresses and I just loved the series. I think she is so very sophisticated and that they did not use her enough in Nanny McPhee. That was a sorrowful joke!
She has honed the personality of Jessica Fletcher so well that I think even I would like to become this person, however, fanciful the fact remains that her books (or book, The Corpse Danced at Midnight) sells in all markets.
She is the best "amateur" detective that ever was.
Thank you!

Murder, She Wrote: The Celtic Riddle (2003) is a television film penned by Rosemary Anne Sisson, a name I recognized from her work on the Indiana Jones series. While it's an adaptation of a novel with the same title, I must confess I haven't read the book, nor was I familiar with the author until now. The late Angela Lansbury, who sadly passed away two years ago, holds a special place in my heart as a beloved figure in theater, musicals, television, and film. I fondly remember watching her in musicals as a child, Agatha Christie adaptations, and of course, the beloved "Murder, She Wrote" series that captivated audiences across Turkiye.
This TV film serves as a fitting tribute to Lansbury's legacy, allowing us to revisit her iconic portrayal of Jessica Fletcher, the mystery writer turned amateur sleuth. In "The Celtic Riddle," Fletcher travels to Ireland to visit her cousin, only to find herself embroiled in a murder investigation. As always, she uses her sharp wit and keen observation skills to unravel the truth, proving that age is no barrier to solving crimes.
The film's Irish setting provides a picturesque backdrop for the mystery, with rolling hills, quaint villages, and ancient ruins adding to the atmosphere. The supporting cast, featuring Irish actors like Patrick Bergin and Colin Stinton, lends authenticity to the film's portrayal of Irish culture and traditions.
While "The Celtic Riddle" may not be the most groundbreaking or suspenseful entry in the "Murder, She Wrote" franchise, it's a charming and entertaining film that showcases Lansbury's enduring talent and charisma. Her portrayal of Jessica Fletcher is as sharp and witty as ever, and her interactions with the other characters are filled with warmth and humor.
The film's plot, while somewhat predictable, is still engaging, with enough twists and turns to keep viewers guessing until the very end. The mystery itself is well-crafted, with clues cleverly hidden throughout the narrative. And the film's resolution is satisfying, offering a sense of closure while leaving the door open for future adventures.
In conclusion, "Murder, She Wrote: The Celtic Riddle" is a delightful and nostalgic trip down memory lane for fans of the series. It's a testament to Angela Lansbury's enduring talent and charisma, and a reminder of why Jessica Fletcher remains one of television's most beloved characters.

I was not a fan of the "Murder, She Wrote" TV series, but that was because I didn't know what I was missing, and I have enjoyed all the TV movies based on the series since it went off the air.
In Ireland, a group of people watches a video will. Jessica Fletcher is one of those witnessing the now-deceased man explaining how he wants his estate divided, because she made a difference in the man's life many years earlier. Certain members of the man's family do not get all that they feel entitled to, while some servants receive more than they probably should have. Jessica gets the Rose Cottage, though she doesn't really want it. That is just as well, because the man's will is challenged by certain members of the family. In addition, there is a mysterious treasure, and each person named in the will is given a sheet of paper with clues to finding the treasure.
While Jessica intends to return home quickly, she cannot leave after she witnesses a murder (or perhaps the aftermath of one). And someone warns her that she and others should watch out, because certain people cannot be trusted. In fact, Jessica is subjected to danger several times during the movie, but do you think the producers will let anything happen to the star? An additional complication: it appears someone has been embezzling from the family business.
Angela Lansbury makes Jessica charming, perceptive, intelligent, and quite likeable, as she has for years. No one else's performance really stands out, except for a storyteller who resembles a leprechaun. I was led to believe we were going to be sent in several different directions, but at no time did I ever feel I knew who the murderer might be (so I never was given false hope) until Jessica revealed his or her identity at the end. The process of seeing the mystery solved was quite enjoyable, though, as usual.

Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesThis is the fourth and last "Murder, She Wrote" Movie of the Week that CBS/Leslie Moonves negotiated with Peter Shaw and Dame Angela Lansbury, "Corymore Productions", fulfilling the negotiated settlement cancelling the popular series in 1996. The original Cabot Cove (Mendocino, California series location) never was considered for use as a basis of a story plot in any of the projected four Movie of the Week projects. Peter and Angela wished to close the series occurring in Ireland. During the twelve years of the CBS series, many story plots and scenarios had been set in Ireland. Set in Ireland, second unit filming always was organized to film establishing exterior buildings, landscapes, an automobile driving on country lanes with matching vehicles filmed in conjunction of the movie's local Los Angeles exteriors. This last project gave an excuse for Angela and Peter to film the Ireland inserted establishing shots after filming was completed at Universal Studios. After these exterior Ireland street establishing insert shots were completed, the editors completed and delivered the finished two hour special to CBS. Filmed during 2002, the last "Murder, She Wrote" aired in 2003, after Peter Shaw's death in January 29, 2003. This movie was dedicated as a memorial to Peter Shaw Pullen.
