After settling in and meeting their neighbors, the two siblings become the latest victims of a series of anonymous poison pen letters. A brother and sister from London named Gerry and Joanna Burton purchase a house in the small, quiet town of Lymstock in order for Jerry to fully recover from injuries received in a plane crash. "THE MOVING FINGER" is basically a murder mystery set in a small English town. Before I express my opinion of it, I might as well reveal its plot. In the end, I found myself viewing the 1985 television movie, due to it being part of a box set of Jane Marple movies. When I first learned about the 1985 adaptation of the film, I did not bother to get my hands on a video or DVD copy. In fact, I have difficulty in viewing it as mediocre. I do not regard it as one of the author's more remarkable works. I am not a fan of Agatha Christie's 1942 novel, "The Moving Finger". I might as well put my cards on the table.
