10/10
A tour-de-force....

....primarily by Dame Diana, whose "Helena" unleashes repressed manic-possessive issues like you've never seen. Attractive, stylish, educated and devoted (to a fault) she's a figure both tragic and heinous, due to an unfortunate habit of dispatching anyone she has even the slightest inkling may be disloyal--in even the most insignificant of ways.

Such qualities have a tendency to make people draw away, but Helena won't have that. She tries to completely possess anyone she feels close to, particularly when it comes to her much-too-adored son Kit--who, to Helena's malevolent annoyance, has become engaged.

A good cast including David McCallum supports Rigg's bravura performance. This should be released!
