Movie Review: Why Didn't They Ask Evans ?
Summary: 4 Stars

Really enjoyed this one. It switches from film (outside shots) to video (for inside shots) which dates it a bit. Sticks to Christie's story well.

Summary of Agatha Christie's Why Didn't They Ask Evans?

In a classic 1930s country house francesca annis & james warwick portray another delightful crime solving couple created by agatha christie. Amateur sleuths bobby jones & lady frankie derwent his aristocratic childhood friend solve a tale of murder suspense & fake identities. Studio: Acorn Media Release Date: 04/08/2003 Starring: Francesca Annis Sir John Gielgud Run time: 188 minutes
Brew some tea and curl up by the fire for murder, intrigue, and madcap upper-class high jinks in Agatha Christie's Why Didn't They Ask Evans? James Warwick and Francesca Annis play plucky amateur sleuths Bobby Jones and Lady Frankie Derwent (and yes, you've also seen them paired as plucky amateur Christie sleuths Tommy & Tuppence). In the very opening scene, Bobby happens upon a dying man who whispers the mysterious title question and we're off. Why Didn't They Ask Evans? has everything one looks for in an old-fashioned bloodcurdler: murder, false identities, a mysterious institution, and even morphine addiction. Warwick and Annis have the light touch of seasoned pros and slide with ease into the period setting. The rest of the cast dives into the fun and includes such noble veterans as Sir John Gielgud and Joan Hickson, herself one of the more memorable incarnations of Christie's Miss Marple. --Ali Davis
