Stars: Helen Mirren, David Morrissey and David Suchet
Helen Mirren gives a searing performance alongside David Morrissey in this
powerful adaptation of Terence Rattigan's radio and stage play.
Based on the true story of a crime of passion that shocked 1930s Britain,
Cause Celebre features support from Harry Andrews, David Suchet, Oliver
Ford Davies, Clive Swift and Geoffrey Bayldon, and is adapted for
television by Ken Taylor (Lady Chatterley) and directed by the
BAFTA-winning John Gorrie.
Alma, the unhappy young wife of distinguished architect Francis
Rattenbury, a man in his mid-sixties, begins an aff air with the couple's
eighteen-year-old handyman, George. As the affair grows in intensity, the
naive and inexperienced George finds himself possessed by an
uncontrollable jealousy; the result is murder, and a harrowing courtroom
drama that will scandalise a nation and engulf Alma in despair.
