The Second World War has just ended and two old friends Rose and Antonia unexpectedly meet in London's Regent Street. Rose is a frustrated housewife married to civil servant with as many secrets as he has mistresses, while Antonia is sick of her rich husband and wants to marry her lover. They are both unhappy with their marriages and plot to kill their husbands. Written by Anonymous
Just finished watching this, had to buy the wretched American version and then buy a multi regional playing DVD player. But in all honesty all the fuss was worth it, I bought it because i'm a massive Helen McCrory fan, she's my fave actress ever, and she does not disappoint, enjoyed this totally from start to finish, Fay Ripley is fab, but Helen as Antonia is wonderful, she has some fabulous costumes as well. Not much to say really just wonderful from start to finish. There are a few surprises along the way in this amusing tale of bumping off unwanted husbands. I see a lot of users have commented on the Hitchcock familiarity, when you seen Antonia bumping off Wing Commander at the Train station you can see why. This gets a deserved 10/10 :-)
