Editorial Review: Product Description: England 1921. The serenity of a small country town is about to be shattered by a shockiing revelation about one of its leading citizens. A family will be ruined. A private matter will become a case of great public interest. Life seems good for Major Herbert Armstrong. he is a respected solicitor with a country estate the love of his three children and a dvout pride in both his life and his garden. But every landscape has its challenges - and so does every life. In Herbert's otherwise pristine garden it's a bad case of dandelions. In his life the problems are twofold. Firstly thre's his wife. Katharine has become bad-termpered and domineering not in the least afraid to shame Herbert in public. Then there's the business. A series of unfortuante financial arrangements and the arrival in town of Oswald Martin a young ambitious rival has turned Henry's good fortune upside down. The solution to the dandelion problem is straightforward: small delicately placed servings of Arsenic will see an end to them. But what is Herbert to do about his nagging wife and the upstart Oswald.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 026359184420 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Terrible Story but the Seller Response was ExcellentDon't bother buying this story; I was very disappointed in Michael Kitchen. The seller did provide it with excellent service. Rating:  - Fantastic!This 2 part movie is excellent! My boyfriend and I loved it. Very very well acted. Rating: - Riveting True Crime DramaSpoiler alert: This is a two part movie. We watched the first part yesterday and the second part this evening. It was riveting from start to finish.

However, the plot is quite a bit darker which is why the film is so good. Set against this beautiful backdrop, the charming Herbert Armstrong decides to murder his wife. ...

It is not just a murder-mystery but a study of jealousy and small-town crises and scandals. All three main actors are superb - especially David Thewliss - and Sarah Miles is entirely convincing as the embittered and repressed and bitchy matriarch of the family. Would not any husband wish to do away with such a harpy? The recreation of the small English village is spot on and although it is long - over three hours - the time speeds ... Read More Rating: - ABSORBED"Dandelion Dead" is a really riveting presentation. It kind of sneaked up on me. At first, I found myself just enjoying the recreation, on screen, of a very idyllic time (1920) and place (small country town) with the seemingly gentle and harmless character of Major Herbert Armstrong played superbly by Michael Kitchen along with his most irritating wife wonderfully (and surprisingly for me) played by Sarah Miles. The next thing I was aware of, I was completely absorbed in this murder/mystery. ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
