There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Does anyone know where I can purchase a copy of this Murder, She Wrote: The Celtic Riddle? I would love to have one.Angela Lansbury is one of my favorite actresses and I just loved the series. I think she is so very sophisticated and that they did not use her enough in Nanny McPhee. That was a sorrowful joke!She has honed the personality of Jessica Fletcher so well that I think even I would like to become this person, however, fanciful the fact remains that her books (or book, The Corpse Danced at Midnight) sells in all markets.She is the best "amateur" detective that ever was.Thank you!

After MURDER SHE WROTE - The Series, Finished in 1996 after 12 Years and nearly 300 Episodes, Angela Lansbury returned in 4 Murder She Wrote TVMs, with THE CELTIC RIDDLE being the last.This time around Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury) is solving another mystery - this time in the picturesque surroundings of Ireland, Where she has been invited to attend an old acquaintance's recorded last Will & Testament, Where each family member (who are really unlikeable and don't get on at all) along with Jessica are given clues, which supposedly are used to uncover a secret treasure, and as this is Murder She Wrote, a dead body falls at JB's feet within a matter of minutes so Jessica as always investigates.Not bad, But I can't help but feel that this is a 60 Minute TV episode stretched out to feature length with a lot of padding along with some very shaky Irish accents but nevertheless it's enjoyable enough with another great performance from Lansbury.*** out of *****

I cringed when I saw this film. Sections of it may have been filmed in Ireland but that's where any Irish connection ends. Fionnuala Flanagan is the only Irish actor of note in the film and she has lived in the USA for the last 34 years. Hardly any other member of the cast or production team is Irish, including those with Irish sounding names. The stage-Irish accents are appalling and you are unlikely to encounter such an accent anywhere in Ireland. Strange as it may seem Irish people don't speak like the leprechauns of 1930s Hollywood films.I thought they gave up making this type of gombeen Irish film forty years ago. It seems I was wrong. Go back to Cabot Cove Angela!

Just checked out this latest issue of Murder, She Wrote. As it was airing, I clicked over to IMDB to clarify Lansbury's age of 78. She's an amazing actress and it is clear that she is doing what she enjoys. The setting was okay, but the plot was formulaic and predictable enough for the franchise. Nonetheless, great to see Angela Lansbury is still making great TV that even my kids can watch.
