Margaret Courtenay, who plays Miss Knight in this production, played Dolly Bantry in the 1980 motion picture version.

the secret that is revealed at the end bears a strong resemblance to the real-life story of movie star Gene Tierney's daughter, Daria. During World War Two, while she was pregnant, Tierney made an appearance at the Hollywood Canteen, where members of the Allied military got to mingle with celebrities. Shortly afterward, she became ill with German Measles (Rubella) and later gave birth prematurely to Daria, who was deaf, partly blind, and severely mentally disabled. Tierney was obliged to institutionalize Daria, and the star had a mental breakdown which led to several of her own stays in mental hospitals. Years later, a woman approached Tierney and bragged that because she was such a big fan of Tierney's, she had broken her Rubella quarantine during the war and snuck off base to attend Tierney's night at the Hollywood Canteen. Tierney, already mentally unstable, was inconsolable at the idea that her own popularity and fame had caused her daughter's severe disabilities.

D.I. Craddock says Marple is his aunt but they weren't related in "A Murder Is Announced".

Insp. Craddock: Yes, sir. What are you asking me to do?

Margot Bence: [explaining why she moved from America to England] I decided to make my career over here.

Miss Jane Marple: [on the phone] Dolly? Now you'll going to do something for me. I want you to talk to Dr. Petrie. Yes, because he's just behaving like Mussolini!
