17th century or so in a small English town. Gripped by "witch-a-phobia."
Judy is the wife of Punch, a talented puppeteer and drunk. They're waiting for their big break.
Odd mix of tones as it's a light comedy/drama but but has a stoning of witches early on. NOT a success like Monty Python was on that kind of humor.
Then Punch accidentally drunkenly launches his baby daughter out a window and kills her. Followed by, in the argument, he beats the wife (he thinks) to death, dumps her in the woods.
Wanders a lot from there and then summarily ties it all up.
Good actors and good direction but ends up being a limp noodle.
