Book Vs. Movie “See How They Run” (2022) Agatha Christie, “The Mousetrap”, Sam Rockwell, & Saoirse Ronan

Book Vs. Movie: See How They Run

The 1947 Agatha Christie Play (Three Blind Mice) Vs the 2022 Sam Rockwell Film

Agatha Christie’s radio play Three Blind Mice was introduced in 1947 and was the basis for 1952’s The Mousetrap, the longest-running play in theater history. 

See How They Run (2022) is a clever, stylish murder mystery set in 1950s London. It blends classic whodunit tropes with a witty, self-referential twist. Directed by Tom George, the film follows world-weary Inspector Stoppard (Sam Rockwell) and eager rookie Constable Stalker (Saoirse Ronan) as they investigate the backstage murder of a Hollywood director who was set to adapt Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap for the screen. 

Between the original play and the film, did we prefer one over the other? Have a listen to find out!
