I worked on this movie, Angela Lansbury was model of excellence a true lady. I doubled for Angela on the ledge of the building and I also worked as AD and Special extra. To my surprise, Angela wrote a beautiful thank you note to me and autographed it. To this day I still have this note and the wonderful memory of meeting and working with such a wonderful lady. Thank you for the memories!
@Tracie Rankin.....Amazing! You looked just like Angela Lansbury on the ledge of that building! It's so exciting to hear from someone who actually got to work with her on a film. I would love to meet her in person, and meet you as well, Ms. Rankin. Thank you so much for commenting!
The wonderful Angela. Such a consummate professional, and seemed to grow more beautiful with every year! Not to mention a great role model in how to grow old gracefully.
Dame Angela is a true delight as Mrs. Pollifax. Her conversations with her deceased husband, Virgil, are at once charming and poignant. Whatever she stars in, Dame Angela is superb.
This was the last movie I watched with my father before he died the following year. I was so captivated by the story that I bought all of the Mrs. Pollifax books written by Dorothy Gilman. As I read I pictured Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Pollifax. So entertaining. Thank you Angela.
ha ha! it is so good to have those memories to enjoy! It was the opposite with me - I read ALL of her books over and over and over. I finally found this on You Tube - I never knew they made it into a movie; so now here I am almost midway through 2023 watching this. Dorothy Gilman first wrote those books in the 60's I believe.
Watching this movie on 10/20/22. Sadly, I heard that Angela Lansbury recently has died just over a week ago on 10/11/22. She was born on October 1925. She was truly a master at her craft. She will be missed.
I absolutely love this movie! I have read all these stories about Mrs. Polifax. Angela was so beautiful and such a great actress. To the woman who commented below, good job you.
I enjoy her movies and series. I play it on my phone and fall asleep to her pleasant comforting voice. Since I PTSD I find it as a coping asset to be my comfort.
OMG! I have Mrs Pollifax books! I didn't know they were a film too! Just wish the quality of the image was better. But LOVE THIS!! Thank you for the upload!
I find that I agree with all the wonderful comments about Dame Angela Lansbury. She is a marvelous talent and a true lady. I love her and I have loved everything she has ever done on screen, TV and the stage! As for Mrs. Polifax series, it is enjoyable and so entertaining. Whoever cast Dame Angela as Mrs. Pollifax made an incredible match. Excellent movie! Wish like everyone else that the series could have continued.
Here I am one year later in the middle of COVID-19 pandemic with so many wildfires near me, our skies are orange and Jessica Fletcher rescues me from all this madness. Thanks again, Jess.💞
How are you doing now? We lived through TERRIBLE fires in NE Washington State, too, but where i live, we had no evacuations during tbe Pandemic, but it was a scary time... mostly because of crazy people ready to kill anyone who wasn't a vigilante hoping to overthrow the government. It seemed our community had lost its mind! It was as scary as the fires. Good friends were nuts with crazy ideas. Well, they still are, but they aren't so scary now. We are too old to be much trouble😄 Well, i do hope you made it through. I am trying to remember where the fires were. Maybe Calfornia or Australia ? God bless you!@@janethartwig774
I loves this movie, I had never even heard of it. Angela Lansbury is so lovely in everything she does. Now I am going to have to read the novels, lved the movie and found myself another favorite author. Thank you.
The first five or ten are absolutely delightful. Toward the end they drop off a bit. Initially as a kid I read the Reader's Digest condensed versions, and when I finally read the full-length ones as a teen, it was amusing to see I'd unwittingly spotted some of the cuts in that certain bits always seemed weirdly choppy to me. The one thing I will caution about is that if you binge them, you may start to notice that she uses certain distinctive adjectives and adverbs a little too often, in a way that a better editor would have caught, especially if she'd had the advantage of writing in the word-processing age (which with an author or editor do a quick search to see if memorable words recur too often). Gilman had a great skill for plot and character. _A Palm for Mrs. Pollifax_ is a particularly beloved re-read.
@@tejaswoman Thank you for your comment! Between mobility issues and isolation to avoid COVID, I'm looking for entertaining and interesting ways to spend my time. 😀👏👍👍
First movie I ever saw her in was Death on the Nile, then I saw The Manchurian Candidate and could not believe it was the same woman. She is just amazing!
what a great bit of escapism on a dull cairns afternoon, in the midst of our lockdown in queensland. i never knew of this telemovie, a great pity there were not more. angela lansbury is a star.and a mighty woman.
Angela Lansbury was in Gaslight, as about a 17 year old, superb performance, and has been at it ever since, in a remarkable lifetime performance on the stage, TV and movies. Lovely lady and gifted actress.
She was also in the Court Jester with Danny Kaye - it was a comical movie set in Merrye Olde Englande - with a "Robin Hood" them (the Black Fox). She was quite young in that one too. Of course she was also in Disney's Bedknobs and Broomsticks - quite good; and Murder She Wrote - which - although I loved the series - I didn't like the character she played too much (she seemed very 'know-it-all').
Landsbury is intelligent right down to her finger tips. No one can convey so much by just the flick of an eyelid, or pull of a lip in sardonic irony like her. She's the most natural and graceful actor ever.
Love Angela Lansbury ...all the special kind of movies and tv shows she's done ...are always good, decent excellent entertainments. She always convinces me she's really the persons she portrays. And she's still so lovely. Thank you Ms.Lansbury.
I have read all of the Mrs. Pollifax books, they are fantastic. I never knew they had been made movies of. Then to see one of my absolute favorite actresses play the role, is wonderful. I look forward to seeing her play the wonderful, Mrs. Pollifax.
Oh, if only they'd made more Mrs. Pollifax movies with Angela Lansbury. I have seen many movies she was in and every single one was excellent. This one was just delightful and I'll be sure to watch it again.
Older Angela Lansbury is delightful as a snoop and as a writer. Funniest line of hers: "He has to get in line..." Thank u for sharing, recommended for 18 and up
If you feel like that , why are you here looking at it? In this world you should know by now that nothing is far fetched and that everyone especially the police need help.
Sure, her shows all have some flavor of the old 1940's debutant fluff movies she starred in when young. But really...not so terribly far-fetched....As overloaded and slim on crime solving staff and tools as police departments commonly are, they can use all the real help they can get. Police do rely on objective, accurate witnesses. And of course her shows all have some humor and lightness to them....similar to those old movies. We could all use a bit of her brand of fluff sometimes LOL!
Well, I think everybody knows Angela like Mrs Fletcher, but in this film I find her as a top class actress. She is so good at acting as a tender widow (talking to her missing husband), playing a sprightly aged woman, playing a "clever agent" (interpreting the CIA of intelligence ...) ... and all with a huge quantity of humor. Many thanks for posting it 👍
Dame Angela Lansbury was an amazing actress. Thank you TH-cam for making this truly entertaining movie available for our viewing pleasure. When ever I see the name Angela Lansbury in the credits I always watch the movie, and I am never disappointed, always enjoy the movie. Why don't the movie studios make enjoyable entertaining movies with truly gifted and talented actors anymore?
Thank you for sharing this delightful movie. Love Angela Lansbury. I read that she is a very gracious person, much like the character she portrays. When members of the crew leave, she is said to organize going away parties for them.
Ms. Lansbury got her first screen role in "Gaslight" 1944, got her first Oscar nod as supporting actress for that movie and never stopped. She could play nasty and sweet and charming. Absolutely an American treasure even though she is British. Happy viewing from Las Vegas, NV August 26, 2018
@Valerie Texan Hardly a bombshell - she was a friend, contemporary and co-star to a real bombshell, the late Elizabeth Taylor. Angela Lansbury had quirky, unconventional looks and was never a great beauty. As she herself happily admits!
Have you ever seen "Please Murder Me"? I believe she was nasty, sweet, and charming - all three - in that movie. Raymond Burr's performance was pretty great, too.
This was fun because I have recently discovered, on TH-cam, the audiobook stories of Mrs Polllfax;written by Dorothy Gilman. Angela fits the starr bill exactly, and simply adds to her vast collection of successes.
Angela Lansbury, ever delicious 💜. Like the way this movie displays so many of the ways verbal communications can be screwed up. Not quite as maddening as 'Who's on first'.
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?” ― Tennessee Williams.
What a delightful movie! I've read the book, but never seen the movie. And of course, who doesn't love Angela Lansbury? She's amazing in everything she's done. I'd love to have this on DVD.
Wonderful. I missed this when it first played on TV. I didn't have a VCR back then and I don't recall that it was ever televised again after that. Thank you for sharing. Now I can enjoy this. I so loved the books.
It is such a pleasure when a truly talented woman has an entertainment career over the span of decades. Lansbury's star has shone upon film, broadway, stage, and tv. Oh and she was a hot sultry babe in her early days too.
Murder She Wrote is one of the best series ever made! I know people in every generation that love it. It's fun. It's a cozy. It's not hokey at all. She'll surprise you. She's mighty. It's really well crafted, the characters are believable & really good, the mysteries interesting, with variety in the settings & plots. The pilot episode is nowhere near as good as the rest of the series. Don't judge by that one. They made her fluffy in that first one, then fixed it, & it never got tired, just better & better. There's good reason it ran as long as it did. It must be on here, it's on TubiTV free movie app, & your library either has it or can get it through interlibrary loan, it's popular with so many kinds of people. I rately rewatch movies, bc I remember what happened. Those are the one thing I can watch multiple times & still enjoy them as much as the first time.
It is suggested that when one reaches one's senior years that puzzles such as crosswords etc, keep the brain active and can reduce the onset of senility.Well perhaps governments have missed a trick,lol. They ought to recruit their senior citizens to become secret agents. Dame Angela Lansbury is one of the UK's greatest exports, she may now be a US citizen of many years but I still see her as one of our own. I hadn't seen this gem of a film in quite some time so it's a joy to see it here.
Ditto for me! When the books first came out (starting in 1960's ?) the Reader's Digest collect put them in their monthly books - that was how I first found them as a child. so now I have a collect of every book Dorothy Gilman wrote - some I definitely do not like , but I have still read them all. The Pollifax series were the best!
@@mchrysogelos7623 I also first found them in my Mom's Reader's Digest books! Those volumes held some great finds over the years, including Mrs. 'Arris Goes To Paris which also had a TV version starring Angela Lansbury (I didn't care for the theatrical version that came out last year).
My most favorite scene among tons is where Ferrell and Pollifax are in Paris Embassy and Ferrell is asleep with Pollifax is beside him playing solitaire and he wakes up and tells her the placement of the Jack in her solitaire. That whole scene deeply touched my heart showing that heart deep friendship can come about anywhere. Hope the movie companies realize there are people out here who haven't given up hope that such plots and actors still exist and someday more movies will be made. On an aside I do not know why they made the actor Bishop so stupid. He certainly isn't in the books. There is enough stupid in the initial interview scene, ah well not enough slips to wreck. They certainly destroyed Clive Cussler the author didn't. He was right to fight Sahara that was a waste. Again may someone please bring Pollifax back, I am an optimist that somewhere there are actors and actresses like these 4 as in Ferrell should appear frequently. I am wistful that anyone is still reading these posts sigh.
I read the books many years ago enjoyed them very much. I only found this movie by googling to see if there had ever been any movies made. I would sure like to see more of them but it would be hard to replace Angela but it could be done.
They missed a huge part of the book. There was SO much more to the story than this, especially the lengthy escape process. They also added stuff that was never even in the book or they combined several different books into one episode and mixed up the characters. It was still fun to watch this, but it was definitely somewhat confusing after reading the books.
I've watched this and will again many times as Angela & Ferral are as good as actors for the novel can be THESE days. For who knows what reason they truly SCREWED over Carstairs, Bishop, and left out a whole lot of other super characters. Please I hope everyone who watches READ the books by Dorothy Gilman. There is another movie Mrs. Pollifax with ROSALIND RUSSEL as the star it is filmed in ALBANIA and more closely follows the book. Though for some reason they SCREWED over again the great in books characters of Carstairs, Bishop and left out lots of others and put in others not in books. Well here is a vote for intelligent and decent movie entertainment.
Angela Lansbury, what a wonderful actor she was.. She is so brilliant in any of her movies and she brings a touch of authenticity to her various roles. A truly wonderful actor, thank you Angela.
Angela Lansbury is a true delight. Her films are like a sweet confection that doesn't upset your tummy no matter how many times you eat it, and you never get tired of the taste.
I rarely want a dessert....most are way too cloyingly sweet. Always felt same way about Angela....too terribly saccharine, like a drug addict hooker, only uppity.
Oh, thank you very much for showing this. I just love her and she is one of my 20 yr old daughters favorites too. I have to let her know about this one.
I have read every Mrs. Pollifax book. And I saw Mrs. Pollifax spy with Rosalyn Russell. And I must say I think Angela Lansbury‘s portrayal is spot on. With Rosalyn Russell they made it all about her not Mrs Pollifax. It was too hype that star which was nowhere near the character it should’ve been. Thumbs up to Angel Lansbury. I wish she would’ve done more. Mrs Pollifax books into movies.
I WISH I HAD BEEN ABLE TO MEET ANGELA LANSBURY. THIS BEAUTIFUL, WARM AND FUNNY WOMAN WAS A TOTAL INSPIRATION FOR YOUNG WOMEN AND OLDER WOMEN, TO KNOW THAT THE SKY'S THE LIMIT. I LOVE AND MISS YOU MISS ANGELA.
I thoroughly love Angela Lansbury. I loved Murder She Wrote, Coourt Jester, and whatever else I can watch. And the Pollifax books were some that I reread all the time.
what an unexpected and delightful surprise, thank you very much for uploading this. Such talent - she was perfect for the part, pity there is not more, it would have been a great series. And when she said the doctor would have made a good game show host or cruise director - I laughed so much - it was priceless and spot on .....
Wish the film was better quality. Nevertheless, the story line of the movie was a delight and Angela Lansbury was her usual glorious self. Wish there were more--both movies and with Ms. Lansbury!!!
Sad to say, I had to keep looking away to give my eyes a rest. But the movie was worth watching anyway because Angela Lansbury is such a treat to watch.

angela lansbury is a star.and a mighty woman.
There is a whole series of books about the adventures of Mrs. Pollifax. Check your local library. They are great fun. Enjoy.
Rosalind Russell played her in the original
Angela Lansbury was in Gaslight, as about a 17 year old, superb performance, and has been at it ever since, in a remarkable lifetime performance on the stage, TV and movies. Lovely lady and gifted actress.
Suddenly, I have the desire to buy a hat.
Gaslight is amazing and she’s so cheeky- then you have her performance in Manchurian Candidate…chilling

Yea you have! I hope you're watching them. Angela is worth to be watched in any of her endeavors, but mystery is her best facet.
Murder she wrote is really good
Just go to the computer and you can watch them all.
Murder She Wrote is one of the best series ever made! I know people in every generation that love it. It's fun. It's a cozy. It's not hokey at all. She'll surprise you. She's mighty. It's really well crafted, the characters are believable & really good, the mysteries interesting, with variety in the settings & plots. The pilot episode is nowhere near as good as the rest of the series. Don't judge by that one. They made her fluffy in that first one, then fixed it, & it never got tired, just better & better. There's good reason it ran as long as it did. It must be on here, it's on TubiTV free movie app, & your library either has it or can get it through interlibrary loan, it's popular with so many kinds of people. I rately rewatch movies, bc I remember what happened. Those are the one thing I can watch multiple times & still enjoy them as much as the first time.
..and the "MONK" series, too.
It is suggested that when one reaches one's senior years that puzzles such as crosswords etc, keep the brain active and can reduce the onset of senility.Well perhaps governments have missed a trick,lol. They ought to recruit their senior citizens to become secret agents. Dame Angela Lansbury is one of the UK's greatest exports, she may now be a US citizen of many years but I still see her as one of our own. I hadn't seen this gem of a film in quite some time so it's a joy to see it here.
I loved this . Always liked Angela Lansbury, watching 'Murder she wrote'. 😍💗💋
Thank you very much for uploading. 🙏
I've been a fan of the Mrs. Pollifax books for decades - how did I never know this movie existed until now? What a pleasant surprise!
Ditto for me! When the books first came out (starting in 1960's ?) the Reader's Digest collect put them in their monthly books - that was how I first found them as a child. so now I have a collect of every book Dorothy Gilman wrote - some I definitely do not like , but I have still read them all. The Pollifax series were the best!
@@mchrysogelos7623 I also first found them in my Mom's Reader's Digest books! Those volumes held some great finds over the years, including Mrs. 'Arris Goes To Paris which also had a TV version starring Angela Lansbury (I didn't care for the theatrical version that came out last year).
Wonderful,, I always enjoy Angela Lansbury.
So far it's fantastic!
Thank you for sharing
My most favorite scene among tons is where Ferrell and Pollifax are in Paris Embassy and Ferrell is asleep with Pollifax is beside him playing solitaire and he wakes up and tells her the placement of the Jack in her solitaire. That whole scene deeply touched my heart showing that heart deep friendship can come about anywhere. Hope the movie companies realize there are people out here who haven't given up hope that such plots and actors still exist and someday more movies will be made. On an aside I do not know why they made the actor Bishop so stupid. He certainly isn't in the books. There is enough stupid in the initial interview scene, ah well not enough slips to wreck. They certainly destroyed Clive Cussler the author didn't. He was right to fight Sahara that was a waste.
Again may someone please bring Pollifax back, I am an optimist that somewhere there are actors and actresses like these 4 as in Ferrell should appear frequently. I am wistful that anyone is still reading these posts sigh.
I read the books many years ago enjoyed them very much. I only found this movie by googling to see if there had ever been any movies made. I would sure like to see more of them but it would be hard to replace Angela but it could be done.
Love the books and didn't know any movies had been made. Thanks for posting...Lansbury was a wonderful Pollifax!
They missed a huge part of the book. There was SO much more to the story than this, especially the lengthy escape process. They also added stuff that was never even in the book or they combined several different books into one episode and mixed up the characters. It was still fun to watch this, but it was definitely somewhat confusing after reading the books.
Yeah so disappointed about the changes. The ending plot was one of the best of all time in the book. Bitterly disappointing
@@lizziebkennedy7505 Well I suppose they adapted the screenplay for the post Cold War era
I've watched this and will again many times as Angela & Ferral are as good as actors for the novel can be THESE days.
For who knows what reason they truly SCREWED over Carstairs, Bishop, and left out a whole lot of other super characters.
Please I hope everyone who watches READ the books by Dorothy Gilman.
There is another movie Mrs. Pollifax with ROSALIND RUSSEL as the star it is filmed in ALBANIA and more closely follows the book. Though for some reason they SCREWED over again the great in books characters of Carstairs, Bishop and left out lots of others and put in others not in books.
Well here is a vote for intelligent and decent movie entertainment.
Angela Lansbury, what a wonderful actor she was.. She is so brilliant in any of her movies and she brings a touch of authenticity to her various roles. A truly wonderful actor, thank you Angela.
Angela Lansbury is a true delight. Her films are like a sweet confection that doesn't upset your tummy no matter how many times you eat it, and you never get tired of the taste.
@Tran101
Couldn't have said it better myself! 😉
Tran101 me either, WOW
What beautiful way of putting it I agree
I rarely want a dessert....most are way too cloyingly sweet. Always felt same way about Angela....too terribly saccharine, like a drug addict hooker, only uppity.
She is truly a wonderful actress. I never get tired of watching her movies and Murder She Wrote.
I was so thrilled to see this, I watched it 3 times in a row. THANK YOU!!!!!
Oh, thank you very much for showing this. I just love her and she is one of my 20 yr old daughters favorites too. I have to let her know about this one.
I have been looking for this movie for what feels like forever! Thank you!!!!
I have read every Mrs. Pollifax book. And I saw Mrs. Pollifax spy with Rosalyn Russell. And I must say I think Angela Lansbury‘s portrayal is spot on. With Rosalyn Russell they made it all about her not Mrs Pollifax. It was too hype that star which was nowhere near the character it should’ve been. Thumbs up to Angel Lansbury. I wish she would’ve done more. Mrs Pollifax books into movies.
What an excellent film! Humor, adventure, danger (but not enough to be upsetting). Highly recommended!
"'Good girl!' My late husband used to say that to me all the time... one of the few things about him that annoyed me!" 😁 you tell 'im, Mrs Polifax!
That one made me smile and giggle ❤
TWO THUMBS UP!!
A. Lansbury is such a beautiful lady, and a supreme talent!
Thank you for sharing this little gem! It's greatly appreciated!
Thank you for sharing. Big fan here of jbfletcher!
Having read several Mrs. Pollifax books...Angela Lansbury portrayal meets and exceeds my image of Mrs. Pollifax when reading the book.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 LOVE IT! I've heard just about all the audiobooks and absolutely love Mrs. Pollifax! This is GOLD! THANK YOU FOR POSTING!
.love it or list it
Kendra Simmons Where did you find the audiobooks?

I WISH I HAD BEEN ABLE TO MEET ANGELA LANSBURY. THIS BEAUTIFUL, WARM AND FUNNY WOMAN WAS A TOTAL INSPIRATION FOR YOUNG WOMEN AND OLDER WOMEN, TO KNOW THAT THE SKY'S THE LIMIT. I LOVE AND MISS YOU MISS ANGELA.
it is wonderful that she has had such a long career. hurray for a AL
I love Angela Lansbury and all her movies she is great actresses..
I thoroughly love Angela Lansbury. I loved Murder She Wrote, Coourt Jester, and whatever else I can watch. And the Pollifax books were some that I reread all the time.
Did you see Disney's Bedknobs and Broomsticks?
what an unexpected and delightful surprise, thank you very much for uploading this. Such talent - she was perfect for the part, pity there is not more, it would have been a great series. And when she said the doctor would have made a good game show host or cruise director - I laughed so much - it was priceless and spot on .....
Thanks for this movie. What a career she has.
I'm searching everywhere for this movie to buy, but can't find it. Thank you for posting it; this is the first time I've seen it.
Loved the movie! I wonder why it's not on DVD anywhere. I never heard of it before. Thank you for posting it and sharing. It was fun to watch!
Thoroughly enjoyable movie!!
Wish the film was better quality. Nevertheless, the story line of the movie was a delight and Angela Lansbury was her usual glorious self. Wish there were more--both movies and with Ms. Lansbury!!!
Sad to say, I had to keep looking away to give my eyes a rest. But the movie was worth watching anyway because Angela Lansbury is such a treat to watch.
How absolutely delightful. !! Thank you.
These stories are wonderful to watch, speaking as another “older lady”.
