After the Great War, out of work Captain, Tommy Beresford (Tommy Beresford) accidentally comes across his lifelong friend and pal Prudence "Tuppence" Cowley. Tuppence is also out of work. Over their sparse meal they speculate on doing any job of anybody for outrageous fees.
This speculative talk was over heard and the wheels are set in motion when Tuppence is given the opportunity and gives what she thinks is a false name. This sets off a series of events that employs them to find a missing girl and the identity of a mysterious Mr. Brown.
Made for TV and fairly transparent, this film still has all the ambiance of a BBC Agatha Christy production. It is a period piece and employs many major English actors. One actor you can recognize right off is Honor Blackman who played Pussy_Galore in "Goldfinger" (1964).

"The Secret Adversary" and the short story collection "Partners in Crime" (both from 1922) were Agatha Christie's second and third-ever book, but their quirky protagonists, Tommy and "Tuppence" (Prudence) Beresford, were not to share the eventful career of their colleague Hercule Poirot, who had debuted two years earlier with "The Mysterious Affair at Styles;" nor that of Christie's almost equally well-loved (and personal favorite) village sleuth Miss Marple, whose first adventure ("Murder at the Vicarage") would not be published until 1930. Christie only authored three more Beresford mysteries: 1941's "N or M?" (a WWII spy thriller set in a coastal guesthouse), 1968's "By the Pricking of My Thumbs" (where a visit to a nursing home prompts them to track down the real-life object of a painting, only to find themselves hunting for a child murderer) and "Postern of Fate" (1973), the last book written by Christie (although not the last one published); more a postscript to the superior earlier ...

Part of a very hard to find series called PARTNERS IN CRIME, written by Agatha Christie, starring Francesca Annis, and James Warwick. The series is rich in production value, design and style set against the vintage background of England in the 1920's and 1930's. This series was the first complete VHS series released featuring Christie characters...before Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot were filmed and released! Beautifully done, humorous, the characters meld together as if born to do so. Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, having met during the war, reunite and propose to become adventurers, solving mysteries for pay. Begun as a lark, they soon stumble onto a bizarre international plot to overthrow the government of England. Who is this mysterious Mr Brown, the criminal mastermind that many witnesses have met, but cant describe, that frightens all who meet him? And where is the secret treaty thought to have been lost during the sinking of the Lusitania? Many plot twists and ... Read More
