Recensione in evidenza
This is now one of my favourite films. As a writer, you come across a story once in a while that you wish you wrote... this is one of mine.
Marriage isn't going well for Norman Martell (Payne), though his wife, Helen (Dainton), has no idea about how he feels. Norman is so discouraged that he has an affair with Helen's stepsister, Peggy Hill (Griffiths). Upon hearing the news that Peggy is pregnant he tells Helen he wants a divorce. Unfortunately for Helen, when he can't get a separation he and Peggy form a plan to kill her...
Even though the twist is telegraphed early on it's not the climax, that you know is coming, that sells this film. It's the story, acting, and direction. All the cast give solid, credible and realistic performances. No one actor or actress is better than the rest. And even though the pace is steady throughout it's the combination of timing, writing, and great characterisations that makes the ending perfect. All the pivotal and important elements weave together at precisely the right time.
One of the best things for me is the ending itself which is delivered like a punchline. Which is fitting, especially if you like dark humour and believe in karma. I admit to actually saying, "Oh Yeah," out loud, along with the closing line, which is really easy to figure out... with a huge grin on my face.
I loved this film... actually, loved this film.
It's with that affirmation in my heart that I recommend this murder mystery to all out there. If you don't enjoy it then there's summat up wit'ya.
You even get a free song from the marvellous voice of Cleo Lane - you can't get any better.
