Did Madeline Smith kill her former lover Emile L'Angelier? Coming from a wealthy background, Smith's entanglement with The Frenchman was considered scandalous, she certainly had a clear notice after he threatened to expose their affair.
Again, it isn't a favourite of mine, but there are several points of interest here, the most important of all being the clash of the clashes, the very idea of someone like Emile spending time alone with Maddy, let alone having an intimate relationship with her, shocking.
The scandal did quite literally destroy the family, amazing to think how obsessed with the class system people were.
They certainly got the visuals spot on, for the era the costumes look terrific, look out for those wonderful crinolines and frills, the sets look great too.
A nice cast assembled here, Sienna Guillory and Vivien Heilbron are pretty good.
6/10.
