La signora in giallo - Vagone letto con omicidio

I do agree that this is a must see for fans of the show like I am. I don't think any of the TV movies achieve the level of greatness the show does but they come close. This could be the best of them, and the one that is most like the show in terms of tone. The plot is filled with intriguing twists and turns though nothing too complicated, and the script has some great moments as well. The direction is solid, the pacing is good in general if a tad draggy in the middle half and the scenery and photography are striking. I liked the beautiful and haunting music too, and the acting is fine, especially from Angela Lansbury(obviously), while Mel Harris and Keith David also give good turns. Overall, a true delight for fans of the series. 9/10 Bethany Cox

This story full of suspense. It starts off with a man being murdered and a woman walking her dog sees the murderer. The woman tell the police she is afraid because the killer knows what she looks like.

JB Fletcher goes on a train a makes friends with a Mrs Taylor not knowing the lady is the witness to the murder who later disappears.

There are men that get on board and they all look suspicious. You start to think maybe they will kill Mrs Taylor.

The story is about secret codes for Satellites that are worth a lot of money. They are being sought by a number of people some working for the government and some from other countries. The man that was killed was meeting a reporter because the codes where in error and the higher ups would not listen to him to correct the problem so he was going to give the reporter the story.

It kind of reminds me of what happened recently with the NSA. The NSA was spying on people and countries and Snowden not like what the NSA was doing so he started to reveal internal things that happened to news reporters.

The story has a lot of suspense and action that takes place on the train. It has lots of persons of interest. Good to watch.

Headed to a lecture by train, Jessica is sent on a mysterious journey after she has a brief encounter in the dining car with a woman -who witnessed the murder of a man trying to expose a serious flaw in a top-secret government satellite code - who later vanishes.

This feature length MSW is a well-plotted and enjoyable mystery with Jessica doing what she does best - putting her nose where it doesn't belong and solving a case of murder, witnesses and codes. Loved the train setting, though halfway in the setting changes to Arizona and rugged landscapes and long winding roads. The plot can be over convoluted and it's not always clear how Jessica comes to her conclusion, but it's still fun with its twist and turns.

Okay . . . . the four "Murder She Wrote" movies are currently on Amazon Prime. It can be confusing how to find them, however. You must do a search for "Murder She Wrote" (New). It will show 4 seasons. Seasons 2, 3 & 4 are all showing the description of Season 2, even though they are actually the remaining two movies. Hopefully, Amazon will correct this eventually.

I never watched many of the TV episodes until the last few years, when I saw them all on Peacock. You do get really attached to Jessica, and are sad when all the episodes are watched. Seeing these movies instantly brings back that attachment. Jessica is the same, at least in this first movie.

It's an interersting story, although I guessed who the killers were before the ending, even though I wasn't trying to do so. Jessica ends up in Arizona after a train ride that ended up with one passenger missing and one murdered. Both the FBI and higher government powers are involved, which I found dull; but Jessica herself is never dull, and it was great to see the late, great Angela Lansbury in action again.

This was the first TV-movie that continued the mysteries of crime novelist and amateur sleuth Jessica Fletcher, a role that Angela Lansbury made loved around the world in the popular TV series, Murder She Wrote.

On the outside it may seem like just a feature length episode of that show, but if you look at it closely you'll see that it has some wonderful moments that make it a superior TV-movie. I suppose having said that you really do need to have an interest in this sort of TV mystery formula and if you have a love for the show then you will adore this.

There are some wonderful moments of mystery and intrigue built up and towards the end you are gagging to find out the truth as you always are in these mysteries. Also,as usual with a good mystery, there are some wonderful twists and turns which I'm obviously not going to talk about. I would recommend this to die hard fans of the series and anyone who enjoys a good mystery.
