Produced in 1999, length 1 hr. 22 min. Based on the novel "Speedy Death" by Gladys Mitchell.
Mrs. Adela Bradley (Diana Rigg), an amateur sleuth, has her Bunter, oops, I mean chauffeur, George (Neil Dudgeon). The pair plays off each other as if they could read each other's minds.
It is the year 1929. We are privy to Mrs. Bradley going to her ex-husband’s funeral as background. "Today, a funeral, tomorrow, an engagement party. Life goes on, n'est-pas?" says Mrs. Bradley as she has been invited to her Goddaughter Eleanor's (Emma Fielding) engagement party. There, as in all good mysteries, we are introduced to the main characters (soon-to-be suspects) as Eleanor's affianced is mysteriously dispatched that evening. Who could have done it and why? The investigating doctor must prepare for a real shocker, and so do we.
People who are used to this type of British mystery will have pretty much guessed the answer by this time. However, it is fun to see how the characters slowly realize what happened. Will anybody else be dispatched in the process?
"Speedy Death" is a part of a series of Mrs. Bradley on film.
