"The Mousetrap" is a real murder mystery play by Dame Agatha Christie that premiered at the Theatre Royal in Nottingham on 6 October 1952 and has continued to run to this day, making it the longest-running play in the world. Sir Richard Attenborough and his wife Sheila Sim were the first actors to play Sgt. Trotter and Mollie Ralston, respectively. A film adaptation was announced in 1959 to be produced by Edward Small and Victor Saville for United Artists and starring Tyrone Power and Maria Schell, but the film was never made. (Small produced the previous Christie adaptation Testimone d'accusa (1957) starring Power.) There eventually were two film versions of the play - the Bengali Chupi Chupi Ashey (1960) and the Russian Myshelovka (1990).
