Editorial Review:
Based on the true story of Vera Hillyard, one of the last women in Britain to hang for murder. It is a dark and brooding tale of a seemingly close-knit suburban family whose facade of normalcy hides the murderous sibling rivalry.

I ordered this for a Christmas present. It came in plenty of time. Thanks!

Thanks!

Rating:  - A good movie marred only by the transition to video.
The original movie is a wonderful adaptation of the same novel. However, in moving to video, crucial scenes have been edited diminishing the overall neuroses of Aunt Vera as well as other members in the family. Recommendation: record it when it airs again on the television.
