What happens

Murder Ahoy! is a 1964 British film directed by George Pollock. This was the fourth, and final, film in a series featuring Margaret Rutherford playing Miss Jane Marple for MGM between 1961-1964. Along with the previous three films Murder, She Said (1961), Murder at the Gallop (1963), Murder Most Foul (1964), Rutherford's supporting cast included Charles 'Bud' Tingwell as (Chief) Inspector Craddock and Stringer Davis (Rutherford's husband) as Mr Stringer. It was produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and the film score was by Ron Goodwin. Shooting locations included Denham Village and St Mawes, Cornwall. Unlike the previous three films, which were adapted from Christie novels, this film used an mostly original screenplay by David Pursall and Jack Seddon, which used elements from Agatha Christie's 1952 novel They Do It With Mirrors.
