Revealing time capsule - Intimate Relations review by TE

Spoiler Alert
02/10/2019

This is a real oddity. Made only 23 years ago, but it feels as if it was made much earlier, even allowing for the fact that it is based on a crime committed in the mid-1950s.

It has the bawdy energy of a knockabout comedy, despite the seriousness of the events portrayed. And contemporary viewers will find some of it quite problematic e.g. the way that the murderer (who in real life turned out to be a vicious sex offender) is presented as a victim of a domineering landlady and her "precocious" 13 year old daughter.

That 13 year old is played by Laura Sadler, who later joined the cast of Holby City before her terrible and untimely death.
