Trivia
The title of the film (and the novel it's based on) is, like that of many other works by Agatha Christie, a quotation of a piece of poetry. "The Moving Finger" are the first words of a well known work by the medieval Persian poet Omar Khayyam.

Goofs
The episode is set in 1952. Characters are seen smoking filter-tipped cigarettes from hard card cartons. Filter tips were considered a speciality item until 1954, and only became widely popular from the 1960s. The hard carton with flip top was not introduced until 1955.

Quotes
Cardew Pye: I often find the most unlikely people doing the most surprising things. Don't you agree, Miss Marple?
Miss Marple: On the contrary, Mr. Pye, I usually find the most likely people behaving exactly as I would have expected.
