The big screen and television never tire of recycling the plot of the classic French film, Le Diabolique. This is the second (at least) TV movie based on the Diabolique plot, the other that I know of being Reflections of Murder with Tuesday Weld and Joan Hackett from some years ago. Diabolique was remade as a feature film with Sharon Stone and the gorgeous Isabelle Adjani in the early ’90s. In this version, the school has been changed to a medical clinic and there’s some voodoo thrown in for good measure. If you haven’t seen any of the other movies, you will find the story intriguing. If you have, you may still find it interesting. After all, this is one of the classic stories of all time. But see the original, which stars Simone Signoret. I saw a rotten print of it and loved it anyway. Starring: Melissa Gilbert,Bruce Boxleitner,Kate Vernon
In Edinburgh, in 1828, there are two sides to society: men living in dirty hovels and grave robbing to make a living; and rich men going to the brothels. Meanwhile, the doctors dine together and drink wine. Surgeon Dr Robert Knox needs bodies for dissection to satisfy the training needs of his medical students. As only hanging victims may be used, bodies are in short supply. In order to serve the greater good of medical science he employs grave-robbers Burke and Hare to supply fresh corpses for his anatomical lectures at the medical academy. The authorities turn a blind eye knowing that stemming the crime would lessen the medical training.The pair of “resurrectionists” are paid £7 10s for their first body – a truly large sum at that time. The students in the anatomy theatre appreciate Knox’s lectures and demonstrations. However, when graveyard supplies run low, the industrious pair turn to murder to keep the business going and simply claim to have robbed the bodies. They start with the poor people who co-habit their lodging house on West Port, and these people might have legitimately died. Due to greed they gradually get bolder picking younger victims. Their wives are aware of the murders and indeed encourage and watch the crimes.
Starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. Rare film made by Lee’s own company Charlemagne Productions
