Very well done, tragic story about a plain, unbelievably obese woman named Olive who is imprisoned for the murder of her mother and sister.
A reporter, Caroline Goodall, is assigned to tell Olive's story and slowly the story emerges.
Then we are told what all we were told isn't true. Complete turn-around.
Was Olive impregnated by her own father and she had an abortion, or was her father a homosexual? Christopher Fulford plays the first unfortunate officer who arrives at the scene of the crime and immediately faints.
He manages to come to with no harm done to him by the ever-present Olive.
In fact, Olive opened the door for him and directed him to the kitchen where he found the bodies.
So if Olive had killed her mother and sister, why didn't she kill the officer when he was unconscious? Wonderfully done story with turns that should have been apparent all along.
Thrown into all of this is a slick businessman who is using money that rightfully belongs to Olive for his own ventures.
We are given a solid conclusion to the story, but then as Olive and the officer catch one another at the end, there still seems to be doubt about what he has been told to believe.
Strange there are no other responses on this very good murder mystery drama.
I guess no one likes to feel sympathy for a plain, obese woman in jail for murder.
