Trivia
The film is an adaptation of the short story "The Islington Mystery" by Arthur Machen (1863-1947). Machen was in turn inspired by the 1910 murder of Cora Henrietta Turner. Turner was killed by her husband, the American homeopath Hawley Harvey Crippen (1862-1910). Crippen was nicknamed "Dr. Crippen" but was not a physician.

Excellent acting, cinematography

I've seen quite a few cheezeball Mexican dramas. This is NOT one of those - it is a fine ensemble performance, with very high technical values. Most of the acting is top-notch. Some great 'Hitchcockian' camera angles and lighting- especially close-ups.

If I were to criticize this film mildly, it's that it views like a stage play. Perhaps it started this way? Anyway, I really enjoyed it thoroughly.
