Cause Célèbre - 1987 - 6/10

The first marriage was for love, until he perished at the Somme.
Next, one of convenience, which fizzled after a few years.
Third time lucky, older man with money, until the funds and vigor ran dry.
Enter the 18-year-old handyman, chauffeur. Imposing and virile.
Afternoon romps until the husband’s skull is bludgeoned.
Based on the life of Alma Rattenbury, half the film is courthouse proceedings.
Theatrical imprint is strong in this. Fine acting, but not especially engrossing.
