I love Helen Hayes as Miss Marple! Caribbean Mystery is excellent -- lots of suspects, a few twists, and a very satisfying conclusion. Murder with Mirrors has a fantastic cast that includes Leo McKern, John Mills, and the incomparable Bette Davis in one of her last roles. I loved it.
I was disappointed with Murder is Easy because, in this one, Helen Hayes is NOT Miss Marple, and has a very short appearance at the beginning of the film. However, the rest of the cast is wonderful -- especially Olivia de Havilland and Jonathan Price.

"I'm so thrilled to hear Agatha Christie DVD Collection Featuring Helen Hayes (A Caribbean Mystery, Murder with Mirrors and Murder is Easy) being released on September 12th. I'm looking forward getting this DVD Box Set to add to my Agatha Christie DVD Collection. A Caribbean Mystery is an enjoyable TV Movie - they have the best cast of Actors. Helen Hayes is just marvelous as Jane Marples."

"This box is a bit of a trick. I really loved two of the movies on this 3 dvd box set. Helen Hayes is great as Miss Marple.
Caribbean Mystery was my Fav.The third movie Murder is easy has Helen Hayes in the first five minutes of the movie and NOT AS MISS MARPLE! Unless you are big Bil Bixby fans this movie is not for you, THE STORY DRAGS ON AND ON. BY THE TIME THE MYSTERY IS SOLVED YOU COULD CARE LESS. The BOX lies. big surprize a movie studio is trying to screw you. Only TWO dvds feature her. If you can buy the first two i would do that. IF I HAD KNOWN BETTER I WOULD HAVE."

"All of these mysteries are fun. The only negative is that "Murder is Easy" is not a Miss Marple mystery and doesn't really star Helen Hayes--her role is only a cameo. The real stars of that one are Olivia de Havilland and Bill Bixby. The other two are Miss Marple mysteries and do star Helen Hayes as Miss Marple. I just think that this fact should have been noted in the advertising."
Miss Marple Fun

"My wife and I enjoy Miss Marple and Helen Hayes does a good job, perhaps not as much as the old curmudgeon Margaret Rutherford, but nobody lives forever. Marple fans will enjoy this set."

"Helen Hayes was wonderful as Miss Marple, but I was dissappointed in the episode where she only appeared in the beginning! This was the way mystery stories used to be told. No blood, no gore, just "mystery" to try to match wits with the characters in the story. Helen Hayes was perfectly cast!"
