Lesley Manville probes ‘Magpie Murders’ on ‘Masterpiece’

“The Crown’s” next Princess Margaret is having a very active year en route to her royal role.

Oscar-nominated for the 2017 movie “Phantom Thread,” Lesley Manville also had the title part in the film “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris,” made the series “Sherwood” and narrated the television drama “Life After Life.” She has another showcase as PBS launches the six-part “Magpie Murders on Masterpiece” Sunday, Oct. 16 (check local listings), adapted from Anthony Horowitz’s (“Foyle’s War”) novel and casting Manville as Susan Ryeland, a book editor who probes the suspicious death of a mystery writer she worked with.

His demise might be linked to a story he supposedly didn’t finish. As she turns amateur sleuth to solve the

crime, the main detective character in the novel –named Atticus Pund – appears to her (as played by Tim McMullan).

“It’s an extraordinary time that I’m having, no doubt about it,” the busy Manville confirms. “I can’t really explain it. I mean, I’ve been acting since I was 16, so I’ve had an awful lot of practice. Maybe I’ve only just gotten good. Who knows? The variety of work has been wonderful, ‘Magpie Murders’ being very much at the center of that.

“This opportunity to play Susan Ryeland, who is such a brilliantly fabulous character, defies all the kind of stereotypical notions that people might have of how somebody of her age should act and conduct their life,” adds Manville. “I am having a very golden time, and certainly, playing Susan was part of that gold. I board because Jill and Anthony (executive producers Green and Horowitz) approached me. We eally nice evening talking about it.”

uthor Horowitz (who is married to his producing Green) states, “I love this book. It was a big success for me, and I wasn’t just going to anybody. I’ve also worked very much usanne (Simpson, executive producer of asterpiece’) and PBS. I know they’re very, very good profitable partnership which I’ve enjoyed over ears, so for me, it was a no-brainer And once and Tim were on board as well, it was one of happiest productions I’ve ever been involved with.” anville reflects that bringing the “real” Susan and fictional Atticus together as “Magpie Murders” sleuthing partners is “a very dramatic, excellent device. ws the way to solve the crime is through the and the key person in the book is Atticus ... way, they become one mind. I just think it’s a gorgeous thing that she can see him and he can but they can only see each other.”

BEST JACK LEMMON MOVIES

“Mister Roberts” (1955) Jack Lemmon earned his first Oscar as Ensign Pulver, friend to fellow officer Roberts (Henr y Fonda) and mutual nemesis of the tyrannical commander (James Cagney) of their World War II vessel in the Pacific.

“Some Like It Hot” (1959) The long association of Lemmon and director Billy Wilder began with this classic Depressionera comedy about two murder-witness musicians (Lemmon, Tony Curtis) who disguise themselves within an all-female band to hide from the killers.

“Days of Wine and Roses” (1962) This searing adaptation of a television play features unforgettable work by Lemmon and Lee Remick (under director Blake Edwards) as a couple devastated by alcoholism.

“The Great Race” (1965) Blake Edwards’ sprawling road-race comedy goes off the tracks in multiple ways, but it gives Lemmon an opportunity to have great fun as the villain tr ying to derail the saga’s hero (Tony Curtis, reunited with Lemmon).

“The Fortune Cookie” (1966) Another reteaming with Billy Wilder gave Lemmon his first project with Walter Matthau, who

earned an Oscar as a shyster lawyer representing his brother-in-law (Lemmon), a television cameraman injured while covering a football game.

The Odd Couple” (1968) Lemmon and Walter Matthau cemented themselves as a screen comedy team as neatnik Felix and slovenly Oscar in this hit version of Neil Simon’s play.

The Out-of-Towners” (1970) Lemmon connected with playwright Neil Simon again as he and Sandy Dennis played Midwestern visitors who ran into ever y problem imaginable while in New York.
