A Talent for Murder (TV) 

Rest in peace dear Angela. You are an emenice talent, a National treasure. You will never be forgotten. We are all indebted to you sharing yourself and entertaining us for over 8 decades. To just say thank you seems so small. But it helps to know that every time we enjoy you again on a TV re-run or on a dvd, we can thank you again and again.

Dame Angela is now 94 years old God Bless Her!

Rest in peace Angela Lansbury 🙏

Rest in peace your memories will never be forgotten! Those will always remain with us forever 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I'm showing this in the nursing home today. They don't care about the quality...they luv the memories. I'll bet u didn't know u were reaching over 30 people at one time! TY for this, Martin!!

I have watched this at least 4 times. Wonderful performance.

The breadth of Angela Lansbury's talent is extensive. She is an outstanding actress.

Glad you like it. It was recorded off-air on transmission in 1984 and has had to be copied onto various tape and DVD as each technology dies the death. Not too bad considering it is almost 30 years old.

Being as that you recorded on VCR then t'ransfer to VHS - then transfer to DVD - I think the quality is great!!!! I can see you did this with a LABOR OF LOVE!!!!! Thank you !!!!

Thank you for sharing this marvelous Angela Landsbury movie.

Miss Lansbury doing her best Bettie Davis - great fun

Another thank-you, Martin! What an odd and wonderful film.

thank you!! i don't recall ever seeing this wonderful movie!

Do you know that Angela was so pretty in her younger years just like a doll wearing her hair to chin length, stood tall with high heels and spoken with the most feminine voice out there. She was So Very classy and elegant and I LOVE her wedding dress. It would still be hot for a bride. She was truly a charm inside-out and still is. All respect go out to you, ma’am. I will always remember you even after this whole existence wrapped up and we’re in heaven. 🤗🍃🌹🦋

After seeing this movie, I don't believe that Hollywood or England had another actress who could match the talent of multi-dimensional Angela Lansbury. She was so mind blowing here, she just threw me. Angela proved that her quiver had a variety of arrows that could pierce every heart. In Samson & Delilah, she got a spear pierced in her heart and in every subsequent movie or television episode, she pierced viewers hearts with astonishment, portraying diverse characters with shades of gray; this translates to the outcome of her various characterizations over the years and how she built such a magnificent repertoire. For each of her roles [and especially in this one], she created different silhouettes. It's the awareness of her mind that took advantage of opportunities. In each and every movie-TV turn, she always rolled a lot of personality into one character. Other gems of Angela include the Murder She Wrote series, Mr. Buddwing, The dark at the top of the stairs [a cameo, but what an impact]. Truly timeless !

The Late,Great, Dame Angela Lansbury would have been 97 today, October 16, 2022. She was SUPERB! May She rest in peace. ♥

AngelaLansbury! Classy, talented, funny...a gem! Thanks for sharing!

I love 'Murder She Wrote'. Never missed an episode. Angela Lansbury is just the best! I wish they would upload the series on RU-vid.

When I first started watching this, I thought it was someone trying to act like Bette Davis. It wasn't , it was Angela doing her awesome thing... making a role hers. Thank you for sharing this.

I love Angela Lansbury! This role was a hoot, really made me giggle. So different to Jessica Fletcher!

Thank you so much for another fab upload, which as you say is not of the best quality but is indeed, to the best of my knowledge anyway, indeed elsewhere unobtainable for public viewing. This makes you as unique as our wonderful Dame Lansbury, in a different way! To you, 👍❤🌹😉

“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.

My parents used to watch this all the time..i never knew this was so good..parents know what's up sometimes

What a gem! Not particularly good in itself, as it is sadly far too stage'y an adaptation, but a real find. Great to see 2 such superb actors together in a production. I hadn't ever heard of this 1984 TV drama (based on a stage play, apparently). So I didn't realise that 'A Talent For Murder' might possibly(?!) have been the programme that led/helped lead up to 'MSW'. It was broadcast only a few months before the commencement of Lansbury's "Jessica Fletcher" role. I had always reckoned that the start of/casting of 'MSW' was inspired by Angela Lansbury's role as "Miss Marple" in 1980's 'The Mirror Crack'd'.

Mr Holland, my deepest gratitude to you for uploading this very rare film. I love all things Angela Lansbury. Thank you so very much.

Thank you!!! I've been searching all over for a good murder mystery that I haven't seen yet. . Can't wait to watch this ! You're awesome thanks so much for ur time & hard work on this , you now have a new subscriber♥️can't wait to view ur other projects

Thanks for uploading this movie. I never knew it existed and I found it fun to watch. I love Angela Landsbury!

After seeing this wonderful thing I've adopted that epic phrase 'A plot with a hole you can drive a bus through !'

Isn’t she marvelous! Her masterly portrayals of eccentric characters is nothing short of amazing. I love her work.

Can't watch without awe the amazing performance of Dame Angela.

I like her because she can change characters so well

From 2:10 this is her voice on the recorder with a strong French accent ! She has a talent indeed !

I love ❤️ this movie, Landsbury is excellent at her finest, I love it.

Angela is one slick cookie in this ,and Lawrence is great as always.

Thank you, Martin, this is al treat. Angela really let it rip in this one..

Ms. Lansbury is probably one of the greatest--if not the greatest actress star working in the theater and cinema today. The lady is also one of the great singers --check out her hits of stage plays--especially "Mame"

I love Lansbury. She is so sharp. Remember her first movie? she was the maid, in the luxurious home of Ingrid Bergman, and Charles Boyer in " Gaslight." so young, and already had a snippy, nosey, attitude.

Rip Marveleus Dame Angela Lansbury (1925-2022) and Lord Laurence Olivier (1907 1989) two great actors

What a wonderful actress! She plays a wide variety of roles to perfection!!

Angela was a talented actor and a wonderful person.

Now this is theatre! I am a writer and film major and can only dream Lawrence O and Angela L would act my words out. Fantastic acting n writing.

Watching during corona scare. Enjoyed the distraction

My goodness, I haven't seen this movie for at least 30 years. Thanks for putting this on YT.

Can't seem to get enough of Angela Lansbury......loved how she palmed the tape and when the music played she danced to it...quite funny....

I love it. “ how do you manage it on the money I give you?” “I steal”🤪😂

This is fabulous! Angela is having a ball! So glad that I stumbled upon it! I was trying to figure out how they got away with mild cursing for a TV movie… looked it up- it was a BBC production, shown in the US on Showtime. Then it all made sense, including the bare bones production values. The supporting players all seemed rather British to me, despite the (varying) accents!

R.I.P dear Angela. You were one of my favourites

Thank you so much. I loved it.

Martin, I am grateful for your valiant effort to rescue our "Angel". I have loved Dame Angela since I first saw her in Gaslight (she was 18 years old) with Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer. But I adored her incredible performances in Murder She Wrote not to mention the fabulous team that created this series. Thank Heavens for RU-vid, and people like you wise enough to archive and transfer in this age of obsolete technology, taking with it ...our valued treasures.

This is one of my favoe movie that A.L. stared in.. When I first came across it I watched it three times in one night.. I love this old girl.. She's one of the GREATEST from the old days.. 👍 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Thank you SO MUCH!

I agree with Ryan, I thought the quality was very good. Thank you, it was very enjoyable.

Imagine if this was reality, all of her vultures, er, children would have to wait another 37 years and counting to get their mother's money.

Gaslight...Samson and Deliliah...Elvis' mom in Blue Hawaii...Bedknobs and Broomsticks - Angela Lansbury is Fabulous in any role!

*We LOVE Angela Lansbury and Laurence Olivier !!! GREAT FILM.*

Angela Lansbury can fit any role. She's amazing

Thanks so much for this! been wanting to see for a while! one of the few Angela Lansbury roles I haven't seen :)

She played with such varsity and I loved her movies and shows so much that when I read the murders she wrote she is the only person whom I saw her🌹

Thought Id never see the day when Angela Lansbury is drinking, smoking and popping pills. :)

LOVED THIS

Do you happen to have any other material involving Miss Lansbury! I have been searching tirelessly for her A&E Biography with no luck! thanks :)

After reading the description, I was expecting the worst, but it's actually a pretty good print considering all the transfers. A very unique film worth the watch if you're a fan of Angela.

This is a fun and relaxing movie. 53:33 - 54:38 made me laugh so much 😆Rest in peace Angela❤

This is a true jewel!! Thank you so much for uploading!

Gaslight...Samson and Deliliah...Elvis' mom in Blue Hawaii...Bedknobs and Broomsticks - Angela Lansbury is Fabulous in any role!

6:50 jeez, if she didn't like his cooking and general busybodyness could've just fired him ;

R.I.P. Just a couple of days ago. Today is Oct. 13, 2022.

Love this. Angela is the best.

Martin thank you so much for this gem of a mystery

Great actress

TALENT and TALENtT and TALENT, this writer, ssuch a clever story, so unique, so wonderful watching, every move she makes she is in her role, no in another person, so super, super SUPERrtr

Thank you Mr Holland 👍

RIP Angela 😢♥️

How wonderful to see this again. Thank you so much this is wonderful.

Its freaking amazing how old she can make herself look. This was 30 Years ago, 20 Years ago was her last Murder she Wrote movie and there she was up and about.

Ohhh..boy..thought it ended rather...hung in the air, but was wondering if it had been intentional...leaving you wondering if....This video does not say there is another half. Just found your Talent for Murder...Part 2. Huggies.

Thank you. I really enjoyed this

RIP to Angela Lansbury 😥🖤

Angela Lansbury BRAVO!!!

Not too bad at all, quality is actually not as bad as you would think :)

Thanks so much!

Lmao!! 54:20 - 54:37 Hahaha, oh hell, I love that part when she starts rocking out in her chair to that music, so awesome. I freakin' love Angela Landsbury!!

RIP Angela Lansbury terrific actor.

Angela Lansbury rest in Peace!

Thank you, Martin Holland, for sharing this wonderful production.👍

i'd like to dislike the people who disliked this amazing gem

Maybe not the best quality, but it's quality in itself lends some authentic charm. As if we are watching it on old tv

A fun show; I bet Angela had a hoot doing this role. It reminds me of the roles I've seen her do in her early days.

Awsome!!! Thank you

Thank you for this movie . really appreciate this

dam this was campy as fuck, thanks!! loved it!

Murder She Wrote is on now. ❤️

This was my intro to the talented Angela Lansbury when I was a kid. Thanks for posting it.

Love Angela Lansbury! Thank you for posting :)

Superb! I love Angela

Had to watch it a couple of times to really enjoy Lawrence Olivier and Angela Landsbury. The transfer to tv wasn’t great, but the two actors together was worth watching. Loved it. Just found the NBC Monday night movies. Really enjoying remembering my youth during those years

I have always been a huge fan of Angela! Every role she does she adds her grace and wide range. One of the last great actresses of a generation!!!!!!!! Plus she reminds me of my Nana....she looked just like her and had that very sweet charm like Angela about her!!!! Thank you for uploading this movie....such a great treasure!!!!

I have always loved Anglia in murder she wrote, but this is my new all time fav. I can't stop watching over and over, again. I wish there was more episodes of this one.

Amazing we can see and hear it!

Anyone know where I can find other episodes murder she wrote? I am having a problem with that....
