Interesting and accurately presented true story based on Burke and Hare, the murdering grave robbers, and the doctor they sold their wares to. This is the tale of a 19th century doctor who is disgusted with the ban on using cadavers to teach surgeons anatomy. He is certain that it is better to cut up the dead than to fock up the living. To address this dearth he pays anyone, from any background cash monies for fresh bodies, no questions asked. This is an interesting cast with Timothy Dalton and Julian Sands, who are peculiarly similar and complementary.
