This documentary focuses on Margaret Rutherford's unconventional presence, providing a meaningful look at women's ability to drive the story and the subversion of traditional feminine roles. However, the film's narrow historical and biographical scope limits its multi-layered breadth, offering little in terms of racial diversity or explicit LGBTQ+ representation. Ultimately, it presents a specialized portrait of individual strength against social decorum, rather than a broad exploration of diverse identities.

Official Synopsis
The true life story of Margaret Rutherford (1892-1972) is in fact much more eccentric than the most famous fictional role she ever played: Miss Jane Marple, Agatha Christie's amateur sleuth. Rutherford's version was the very first appearance of Miss Marple on the big screen and it was far removed though from the petite, upper middle-class lady in the detective novels.
