Now THAT is an interesting wedding day!
20 October 2018
Thomas Griffith (Murray Matheson) thinks he's just married the perfect woman. After all, she's beautiful AND rich. Imagine his surprise on their wedding day when he learns she's NOT especially rich and her annoying family arrives and plans to stay! It turns out both Griffith AND his new wife lied about their 'fortunes'! How can Thomas find a way out of this marriage? Well, it's the early 19th century...and divorce just isn't an option...but poisoning IS!

This gothic tale is decent but made better by Matheson's haughty and enjoyable performance. Sure...you know where it's all going to go...but watching him enjoying his murders makes it enjoyable.
