David Pursall

David Pursall (19 August 1917 - 7 September 1986) was an English screenwriter. Together with Jack Seddon he wrote the screenplays of three of the four films in which Margaret Rutherford portrayed Miss Marple. The last of these, Murder Ahoy, was a wholly original plot not adapted from any story by Agatha Christie. The opening titles describe this film as based on an interpretation of Agatha Christie's "Miss Marple" by Pursall and Seddon.
