Terrific mini-series. Thanks for posting LBColby.

I appreciate all the extra info and the links above.

The mother's reaction is wild --- how did she not feel anger towards her daughter??

It's unfortunate that Frances was able receive her inheritance (and in face to profit from her crime in the end).

Frances Schreuder was one of the most sociopathic, evil murderers that ever lived. She's right up there with Charles Manson and Aileen Wuornos and Ted Bundy, except for one thing: she killed her OWN FATHER for his MONEY.

erm, You are very one sided just like this movie is. If you knew any real details about this case, you would clearly see that the real murderer was Marilyn Reagan, there was a reason she got no money when berniece died. Marilyn is the one who put marc up to killing Mr. Bradshaw. Frances was completely innocent of this crime.

[cynthiacher]

That is a lie. Overwhelming evidence proved that Frances Schreuder was a cold-blooded murderer.

Phenomenal.

Words fail when it comes to commenting on the sheer nerve of that woman. Evil and vile and doesn't Lee Remick just bring her to life?

Once again LB, thank-you. I've so appreciated watching this extraordinary show. How I wish it was on DVD...xoxo

[LBColby]

You're very welcome. I can only second that wish - although I have this copy of 'Nutcracker', it would make me very, very happy if it was released on DVD and I could have it in high quality that this exceptional miniseries deserves.

This mini-series was finally released on DVD by Warner Brothers and it is available from the WB online shop as part of their Archive Collection.

[Gatsbyesque]

I beg your pardon?

[nadavno]

"The two mrs. Carrington"?

Check his profile....

Even more amazingly, Marilyn (whom Frances used for years) wrote the judge pleading for psychiatric treatment for her instead of the death penalty. Which is sicker: Frances' "life" incarceration being only 1 year longer than Marc's or Frances bleeding her parents of $ & then being permitted to file for Chap. 7 protection or Berenice willing her $ to the person ordering her husband's murder?!

[alexisdiva9]

Thanks for posting this! Amazingly "Ariadne" (child's real name was Lavinia) managed to forgive her Mom for being so cruel to her - and took care of Frances during her final years.

That level of abuse breed into a child at an early age can continue to feed guilt and command their allegiance for many years on.

The psychiatrist who treated Mark said he was one of the most severe cases of psychological abuse he had even seen in his career. He felt it was impossible to think there wasn't anything he wouldn't do for his mother.

In the end, Marilyn acknowledged it was he who reached out to Frances before her death. She knew Frances would not be the one try and reconcile.

[mastmedia]

A like so many high profile atrocities committed in this society, the aggressor will mostly view themselves as a victim in the situation.

Their admirers, like Bernice Bradshaw (France's mother), will continue to remain loyal followers whose adoration shields them from the truth.

I have little sympathy for either.

Dominick Dunne was so right in his profile of such high end cases. It's too bad he's now passed.

LB, this was a tour de force. A great way to end your summer programming.
