Wow - The truth of the matter
thejdrage7 February 2023
This is one of the saddest stories I have heard in a long time. And I was riveted by Lady Lucan - and how open and honest she was in answering all the questions presented to her.
I wasn't going to write a review, but when reviewers wrote ill of her, it made me angry enough to feel the need to defend her.
She was "a woman of a certain age" - which meant she was raised to marry and have kids. She was honest in telling that she wasn't well liked and that she was cold. Not her fault. Not everyone can be warm and frickin' fuzzy and the Mother of the Year.
I thought her honesty in this documentary showed that she was absolutely a woman of strong character who knew her faults - and tried to fix things along the way.
She did her best - and almost got killed for it.

Fascinating

I happen to catch this documentary on Amazon. I had never heard of Lord or Lady Lucan. What a fascinating story it is. Murder, gambling, sex, custody battles, wealthand royalty all rolled up into one.
I found Lady Lucan's interviews so interesting and completely forthcoming. She doesn't hide who she is and it's kind of refreshing.
The home movies are amazing and we get a glimpse into what life is like for the wealthy or not so wealthy lifestyle.
So did Lord Lucan murder the nanny and try to kill his wife? Or was it a random intruder? Or did Lady Lucan plan all of this herself? Where is Lord Lucan now? So many questions!

"All of my relationships are cold" I can't get past that line. Hard to connect or feel anything for Ms Lucan. She seems a very lonely person, probably a product of living the life she has, but in same fashion incredibly snobbish and disconnected with how real people live, so it made it hard for me to care about her or anything she was saying- which is 90% of how this tale is told.
Lord Lucan: My Husband, The Truth
a_baron8 September 2021
The story of Britain's most notorious aristocrat is well known to both people of a certain age and true crime buffs the world over, but here it is viewed through the eyes of the woman he attempted first to drive mad and then murder.
This in-depth interview with Lady Lucan was recorded the year before her death. Herein she describes in graphic detail how having murdered her nanny by mistake her estranged husband battered her over the head with the same blunt instrument but somehow she managed to fight off and temporarily overcome a desperate man twice her size.
We see too previously unbroadcast footage and hear of her terrible suffering of which she manages to make light.
Is he dead? Yes, she believes he committed suicide in the English Channel, an act she calls brave. It wasn't brave, it was decent, probably the only decent thing this worthless son of the privileged ever did in his entire life. But this documentary isn't really about him, rather it is a fitting tribute to a woman tragic and remarkable in equal measure.

Typical snobish British aristocrat. They believe they are sort of.

This woman is completely devoid of what a mother should be. The story line is a typical murder mystery but she is dreadful. She has no idea as to how to be a loving mother or wife and goes through life thinking everyone else is to blame for her failures, pitiful.
She believes the fact her husband is OK with being a gambler, borrowing continuously to support his failures as a human being and she goes right along for the ride thinking everything is OK knowing they have no money but spend it like they do and she really believes she has done nothing wrong as far as being a horrible mother and a wife. Pathetic till the end.
