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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 😀👏👍👍
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.
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').
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.
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!
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.
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 👍
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.
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 .....
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
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.
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.
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.
I find it very sad that they didn't continue to make Pollifax movies. I read the Mrs. Pollifax books as a teen and thought that when I got to her age, I would like to be a spy and have such adventures! Now I am almost 60, and I am nowhere near being able to have this life. But perhaps if I take a train...
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.
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.
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.
I'll see it a thousand times more as if I'll be seing it for the first time; this is how much fun, fresh, and delightful this movie is to me. Thanks for sharing it!
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.
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
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.
Chris Johnson. I'd like to add my thanks to you for providing this delightful film. I have watched it at least five times, possibly six. I have absolutely no complaints about the film. The only complaints I have are about the killjoys who just have to make such negative, disrespectful comments. I know and agree that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But I happen to also agree with the old adage that says, "If you can't find something good to say, then don't say anything." I loved Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Polifax VERY much. And I fell absolutely in love with Thomas Ian Griffith! His smile was just heavenly. Sigh. I also thoroughly enjoyed Ed Bishop as Bill Carstairs; having played as Ed Straker in UFO, he made a great CIA boss. Yes, I really enjoyed this film. Thanks again, Chris, for your time and effort in bringing us Mrs. Polifax! Sincerely yours, Paula M.
Aww, I didn't look it up and therefore didn't know which part Ed Bishop played. I thought it would be fun if he would have been cast as Bishop. But then, I had no idea who he was, my idea was just based on his name. 😄
I say that not sticking to how the characters are in the books is not being disrespectful but honestly honoring the MEMORY OF THE AUTHOR DOROTHY GILMAN!!!! May she REST IN PEACE
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.
Dame Angela Lansbury was an amazing actress. Thank you UA-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?
They are the perfect spies these old ladies! Nobody would believe it. They can move about largely ignored. If they do something suspicious, credit it to dementia. LOL!
As an older person, I can arrest that we are overlooked and marginalized and at times we are invisible....you all will see what I mean, if you are 'lucky' to reach oldster status.
I've only had time to skim this movie so far, but I can tell the plot is very different than the book by the same name. I enjoy this movie very much, though I also love the first movie starring Rosalind Russell and Darren McGavin. That earlier movie follows the book much more closely, and Darren McGavin's Mr. Farrell was much more like the book's version. Darren McGavin was like Angela Lansbury in that he was a brilliant actor and could do absolutely anything, including infusing wit and humor even into the most dramatic scenes.
@@rowanaforrest9792 You are the second one who said that about the original movie - I will really have to find it now. I LOVE Angela Lansbury, but I don't like when they change the story too much.
Second time watching this and I found it a very relaxing movie. While I’m going through a stressful time. Yet upbeat and still held my interest. Thank you for this movie. I only wish Angela Lansbury had made more of these. As others have said, delightful!
When I was going through chemotherapy, I had a hard time wanting to watch anything on television and I was frequently awake late at night. One time, sleepless, I found "Murder She Wrote", and watched it. I watched several of them over the next several nights and fell in love with Jessica Fletcher. What a wonderful character, what a wonderful actress Angela Lansbury is. I hope things have gotten easier with you now that a year has passed. I am just watching this movie for the first time. It is wonderful and I plan to watch it again.
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.
Love the Mrs. Pollifax series, I have them all. This movie was a combination of two books and, while a good movie, it didn't really do either book justice. Ms. Lansbury is a gem! Great actress! She was perfect as Emily!!!
This was fun because I have recently discovered, on UA-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.
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.
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.

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 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?
@@trinidad2450Hey there. I rented them online from my public library.
@@kendrasimmons2475 What a great idea! Thanks so much.
@@trinidad2450 No problem! There are also some on You Tube ua-cam.com/play/PLz6dci549sYqickzpbP7YYc77TJHFAuEN.html
Truly enjoyed the movies, only wish that this has been a series.Thanks for the upload.
Most enjoyable. Thanks for uploading Chris Johnson
By 06:57, I was hooked! lol ---> what a great find. I never heard of Pollifax before now. Thanks!
If you ever get the chance to see it, Rosalind Russell did a great portrayal of Mrs. Pollifax as well. In the 1970s film Mrs. Pollifax-Spy
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.
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
So glad i found this vid, love Angela Lansbury and all her mysteries ! thank you for posting !
I loved this . Always liked Angela Lansbury, watching 'Murder she wrote'. 😍💗💋
Thank you very much for uploading. 🙏
Delightfully funny, a real comedy of errors that I quite enjoyed. Thanks for posting.
@Cathy......that was so funny the way she became a spy. LOL
Thank you for posting this great movie
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.
This is so enchanting. Angela Lansbury does not disappoint.
Chris Johnson. I'd like to add my thanks to you for providing this delightful film. I have watched it at least five times, possibly six. I have absolutely no complaints about the film. The only complaints I have are about the killjoys who just have to make such negative, disrespectful comments. I know and agree that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But I happen to also agree with the old adage that says, "If you can't find something good to say, then don't say anything." I loved Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Polifax VERY much. And I fell absolutely in love with Thomas Ian Griffith! His smile was just heavenly. Sigh. I also thoroughly enjoyed Ed Bishop as Bill Carstairs; having played as Ed Straker in UFO, he made a great CIA boss. Yes, I really enjoyed this film. Thanks again, Chris, for your time and effort in bringing us Mrs. Polifax! Sincerely yours, Paula M.
I totally agree. If you can't say something nice and encouraging then don't say anything at all!
Aww, I didn't look it up and therefore didn't know which part Ed Bishop played. I thought it would be fun if he would have been cast as Bishop. But then, I had no idea who he was, my idea was just based on his name. 😄
I say that not sticking to how the characters are in the books is not being disrespectful but honestly honoring the MEMORY OF THE AUTHOR DOROTHY GILMAN!!!! May she REST IN PEACE
Thanks so much! I enjoyed this movie immensely!
So far it's fantastic!
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for uploading this film. Angela Lansbury 👍🏻.
So nice to find funny clean entertainment😁. Such a great actress!
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!
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.
How absolutely delightful. !! Thank you.
Dame Angela Lansbury was an amazing actress. Thank you UA-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?
I’m really glad I finally decided to watch this. I love Angela Landsbury and love everything she does.
Thanks so much for sharing this. I read all the Mrs. Pollifax books, so this was a really nice surprise.
What a delight Angela was in this role! I'm so glad I chose to watch this.
Delightful! Whole family enjoyed from child to adult! Thank you, Mr. Johnson.
Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!
I loved the Emily Pollifax books when I was younger, I always thought they were such fun to read. Who would expect an older lady to be a spy?
They are the perfect spies these old ladies! Nobody would believe it. They can move about largely ignored. If they do something suspicious, credit it to dementia. LOL!
As an older person, I can arrest that we are overlooked and marginalized and at times we are invisible....you all will see what I mean, if you are 'lucky' to reach oldster status.
I've only had time to skim this movie so far, but I can tell the plot is very different than the book by the same name. I enjoy this movie very much, though I also love the first movie starring Rosalind Russell and Darren McGavin. That earlier movie follows the book much more closely, and Darren McGavin's Mr. Farrell was much more like the book's version. Darren McGavin was like Angela Lansbury in that he was a brilliant actor and could do absolutely anything, including infusing wit and humor even into the most dramatic scenes.
@@eltoyongardener1225 They are also SO overlooked (little old ladies) EVERYONE ignores them.
@@rowanaforrest9792 You are the second one who said that about the original movie - I will really have to find it now. I LOVE Angela Lansbury, but I don't like when they change the story too much.
Thanks so much for posting, Chris.
This is a light, fun romp.
Angela Lansbury ;)
So, there it is Virgil.
Second time watching this and I found it a very relaxing movie. While I’m going through a stressful time. Yet upbeat and still held my interest. Thank you for this movie. I only wish Angela Lansbury had made more of these. As others have said, delightful!
When I was going through chemotherapy, I had a hard time wanting to watch anything on television and I was frequently awake late at night. One time, sleepless, I found "Murder She Wrote", and watched it. I watched several of them over the next several nights and fell in love with Jessica Fletcher. What a wonderful character, what a wonderful actress Angela Lansbury is. I hope things have gotten easier with you now that a year has passed. I am just watching this movie for the first time. It is wonderful and I plan to watch it again.
Loved the Pollifax books, and this movie didn't disappoint.
We won't forget you rest in peace✌🏾
Enjoyed so much thank you for posting!! Delightful movie!! Dame Angela superb!!
Thanks so much for sharing!! Love love love Angela 💜💜💜
Me too!!
One of my favorite great actress rip dear Angela thank you for your great movies gone but will never forgotten ❤❤❤
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.
I loved this movie it was very funny
I enjoyed watching angrla lamdsbury in this wonderful movie
A delightful break from reality. Mrs. Pollifax does not disappoint! 😄
Thank you so much for uploading this. I’ve been waiting over twenty years to see this.
This was a great movie! Thank you for the upload!💜💜💜
I've been looking for this for years!! Thank you so much! I love this movie.
1944 Gaslight was her first movie. What a perfect spot for her and at 18 yrs old, no less!
omg such a cute movie ... I just love her acting
Love the Mrs. Pollifax series, I have them all. This movie was a combination of two books and, while a good movie, it didn't really do either book justice. Ms. Lansbury is a gem! Great actress! She was perfect as Emily!!!
Thoroughly enjoyable movie!!
I really loved it. Thank you so much for uploading it!
This was fun because I have recently discovered, on UA-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.
This was fantastic! Thank you for sharing this with us! ~Sharon
Angela Lansbury IS the epitome of Artistic Excellence. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙂
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.
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.
Thank you for sharing really enjoy this one ❤
