I've previously uploaded an excellent - but lengthy - 1989 adaptation of this dark thriller by Wilkie Collins. That earlier version ran to most of six hours and starred Sophie Thompson and Eleanor Bron. It's very good. But, this more recent adaptation is also good, and hurtles through the story in a leisurely two hours. Some elements of the story are inevitably lost, but it's still a good story well-told - and in particular, Ron Cook is never a bad name to see on a cast list.
