The Curious Quadruped
by richardchatten2019-12-08
2/10

"Normally it took John Ford to make a film set in Ireland as phoney as this! There must have been quite an audience for films about gee-gees for Eastmancolour (sic) and CinemaScope (beautifully shot by Jack Hildyard) to have been lavished upon this gallumphing nonsense so soon after Ealing Studios squandered Technicolor on 'The Rainbow Jacket'; complete with an excruciating 'Oirish' score by Philip Green. (At least horse racing and the wide screen make a good fit; although the final race meet is over surprisingly quickly.) Stringer Davis plays a doctor in a rare appearance..."

Martita Hunt replaced Margaret Rutherford, who had suffered a mental breakdown.

Margaret Rutherford spent most of her life in fear of going mad. Her fascinating life story is told in Truly Miss Marple: The Curious Case of Margaret Rutherford (2012).
