Colonel Lucius Protheroe is probably the least-liked individual in St Mary Mead. All resent his superior and demanding attitude. So, when he is found dead in the vicarage study, there is no end of suspects. His wife Ann was having an affair with a local artist, Lawrence Redding. His daughter Lettice bridled under his strict rule. There is also the vicar and his assistant, whom Protheroe suspected of stealing church funds. Finally, there is the mysterious Mrs. Lester with whom he clearly had some previous connection. Jane Marple, recuperating at home from a sprained ankle, had a bird's eye view of all the comings and goings at the vicarage around the time of the murder and she gladly assists Inspector Slack in solving the crime.

描述一名西德记者偶然得悉纳粹残余组织“奥迪萨”，企图在战后重振势力，于是自动追查，最后在以色列特务帮助下，化装为秘密警察混入组织勇擒魔头。

该片又名《亚当复活》，根据1969年以色列著名畅销小说家尤拉里·卡纽克(Yoram Kaniuk)的作品改编，讲述了德裔以色列小丑演员亚当·斯坦的故事，他被迫在纳粹集中营内为在押犯们表演取乐，最后得以逃过生死劫只是因为能够为进入毒气室的囚犯们拉拉小提琴曲。杰夫·古德布鲁姆(Jeff Goldblum)在片中饰演亚当，威廉·达福则出演集中营指挥官，此人将亚当象条狗一样尽尽羞辱之能事。
幕后制作
这是德国和以色列电影届的首次合作，出演亚当的杰夫·高布伦表示：“这是他所扮演的最难的一个角色。”该片导演保罗·施拉德曾以担任《出租车司机》的编剧而名声大噪，制片商则是以色列的埃胡德·布雷伯格(Ehud Bleiberg)公司和德国的维尔纳·维尔辛(Werner Wirsing)公司，这部主题悲惨的影片堪与罗伯托·贝尼尼的奥斯卡获奖电影——黑色喜剧片《美丽人生》相媲美。
一名德国评论家撰文称，《苏醒的亚当》“会在两种风格中艰难取得平衡”——因为如果风格过于活泼幽默，就有嘲笑大屠杀幸存者之嫌；如果风格拍得过于严肃沉闷，又不能完全反映原著中的人物个性。
出演该片的还有德国顶尖演员莫里兹·布雷布特鲁(Moritz Bleibtreu)和维罗尼卡·费里斯(Veronica Ferres)，以及以色列演员阿耶莱特·祖里尔(Ayelet Zurer)，后者曾出演过斯蒂芬·斯皮尔伯格的《慕尼黑》。
《苏醒的亚当》一片中大多数场景取自位于以色列内盖夫沙漠中的大屠杀幸存者收容所，斯坦在拼命寻找最后一名家族幸存者，后被送来这里治疗他所谓的“神经失常”。为了更好地诠释角色，杰夫·高布伦数度造访以色列，并以大屠杀幸存者们进行沟通交流，他还前往柏林体验生活，并专门恶补小提琴课以便更好地展示片中人物的个性。
原著小说当年在以色列出版时，销量一败涂地，作者、现年77岁的卡纽克解释说：“因为那个时候没有以色列人再愿意听关于受害者的故事了。”影片投资700万英镑，在海法、特拉维夫、罗马尼亚和德国的一些地方取景拍摄。

Dakota Fanning replacing Saoirse Ronan in Emma Thompson's 'Effie'
August 16

Just last November, one Casting Tidbits update revealed The Lovely Bones star Saoirse Ronan landed the title role in Effie, a biopic about Effie Gray, the wife of English art critic John Ruskin, who became entangled in a famous Victorian love triangle. Now Deadline reports Dakota Fanning will star in the period drama from writer/actres****a Thompson which chronicles the strange romance, or lack thereof, between Gray and Ruskin. Despite her beauty, Ruskin was said to be disgusted with Gray's body, did not consummate the marriage and annulled it, allowing her to marry Ruskin's protégé John Everett Millais.Though Orlando Bloom was once attached to play Millais, apparently Tom Sturridge (Pirate Radio) has stepped into the role. In addition, Thompson will also star in the film as Lady Eastlake, who takes Effie under her wing when it becomes clear the union was destroying the young woman. Her husbandGreg Wise (Johnny English) will play Ruskin while Julie Walters (Harry Potter franchise) and Derek Jacobi (The King's Speech) will play his parents. Finally, Edward Fox (Gandhi) is in talks to play Eastlake's husband Sir Charles a man who was not only fed up with Ruskin and his radical ideas, but also the main patron of the Royal Academy which held sway over what constituted fine art.
Richard Laxton (An Englishman in New York) is directing the film which begins shooting in Scotland on October 17th with shooting to follow in London and Venice as well. The cast has been shuffled on this project for awhile with Carey Mulligan once attached to the title role as well, but a copyright infringement claim held up the film, which resulted in scheduling conflicts for the previously attached cast members. Producer Don Rosenfeld says, "It’****a Thompson’s first original script after doing several fine adaptations, and it gets to the heart of Victorian England." Though this sounds a bit more along the lines of her work on Sense and Sensibility as opposed to Nanny McPhee, her work on the page should make for a great British drama down the road.

In CHARLES DICKENS’S ENGLAND, Derek Jacobi takes the viewer around the most important places, towns and cities that were the inspiration to some of the most famous settings in literature. The film features Cooling Church in Kent, used by the author in the opening chapter of Great Expectations; Miss Havisham ‘s house in Rochester; the almost forgotten London Roman Baths used by David Copperfield; Joe Gargey’s cottage in Chalk, the notorious Bowes Academy, the harshest of the Yorkshire schools and now known to the world as Dotheboys Hall. From Portsmouth to the Isle of Wight and then on to numerous London locations; from Chatham to Broadstairs; from Folkestone to Barnard Castle and then to St George’s Hall in Liverpool. Well over 100 locations are featured. Many of these, such as 58 Lincoln’s Inn Fields where Dickens first read in public, the All The Year Round offices in Covent Garden where he lived and worked and Gad’s Hill in Kent, the last in a very long list of his homes, are not open to the public and their interiors have rarely been filmed.
