Victorian crime drama which sees Withers, the wife of brutal pub owner Marsh, poison her husband and then blackmail a chemist by involving the man's son in her husband's death. Good period flavor and a few interesting twists. Bit players Lacey, Carol, and Marsh turn in the film's best
performances, upstaging the featured actors. Set in the coastal town of Brighton.
