[Afamilyatwar-list] A Family at War (Not)

[Christine Kendell]

That sounds like my sort of thing! It doesn’t sound familiar at all, so I can’t have seen it. Michael Kitchen is very good in everything.

Oddly, the story really is about a family in turmoil, and the production is so wonderful that I wanted to bring it to collective attention: Dandelion Dead, from 1994, starring Michael Kitchen (utterly superb) along with Sarah Miles and Bernard Hepton and Robert Stephens (who died the next year). The story is a lightly arranged telling of the early 1920s poisoning case of Major Herbert Armstrong, which was such a sensation at the time. The direction here is so polished and careful and the acting so beautiful to watch that the 3 1/2 hours flow by. Arsenic and Old Lace, indeed!
