Interesting scholarly work on the history of adaptations of Agatha Christie's works. Surprisingly, considering the topic, there are no illustrations. I would have expected visual references when comparing how different actors appeared as familiar characters. I'd love to see some of the non-English adaptations that have taken very different approaches to some of her most popular works. I now understand why I have such problems watching some of the British TV adaptations, as I very much disagree with some of their decisions on choosing when to set the stories, sometimes updating them to modern (or at least much later than they were written) times. Even worse for me is when they adapt a stand-alone story but re-write it include Marple or Poirot as the detective or change the motive or identity of the guilty party. It is academic reading, not something for a casual fan. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
‘Mark Aldridge's book uncovers many hitherto unknown facts about screen adaptations of Agatha Christie. It is an important addition to Christie scholarship and required reading for all admirers of the Queen of Crime.’ - Dr. John Curran, author of Agatha Christie's Secret Notebooks ‘The book is a mine of information. As well as a fascinating insight into the history of Agatha Christie adaptations, the book also throws much light on the whole area of adaptation and its participants on every side of the fence.’ - Mathew Prichard, grandson of Agatha Christie Agatha Christie on Screen is a comprehensive exploration of 90 years of film and television adaptations of the world’s best-selling novelist’s work. Drawing on extensive archival material, it offers new information regarding both the well-known and forgotten screen adaptations of Agatha Christie’s stories, including unmade and rare adaptations, some of which have been unseen for more than half a century. This history offers intriguing insights into the discussions and debates that surrounded many of these screen projects – something that is brought to life through previously unpublished correspondence from Christie herself and a new wide-ranging interview with her grandson, Mathew Prichard. Agatha Christie on Screen takes the reader on a journey from little known silent film adaptations, through to famous screen productions including 1974’s Murder on the Orient Express, as well as the television series of the Poirot and Miss Marple stories and, most recently, the BBC’s acclaimed version of And Then There Were None. .
