A comic melodrama that evokes the 1960’s “grande guignol” films that featured aging stars such as Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. Ex-pop singer Angela Andrews, is trapped in a hateful marriage. Desperate to find happiness with her younger lover, an out of work TV actor, Angela murders her husband with the aid of a poisoned suppository.
