Suspicion: Lord Arthur Savile's Crime (1958)
Season 1, Episode 15
Good Victorian drama
30 September 2015
Adapted from an Oscar Wilde novel or simple writing, it is of course one more tale taking place in Victorian England, nearly a satyriric drama. But from Oscar Wilde, how could you expect it in a different way? I must admit that Ronald Colman is exquisite in this character, so is also Sebastian Cabot. And the opening scene, with the anatomy chart representing a hand, is unforgettable for such a story. I won't wipe this episode off although, it has its good moments. But I expected a little more, just a little. Even if I did not know this short Oscar Wilde's novel before. I think that in a film, it could have been better. Yes, maybe it lacked length to be totally adequate in telling. Try it anyway, it deserves it. I only told my own opinion, as usual.
