It's 1935. The headlines scream "murder most foul." All England is boiling with fury ñ scandalized by the "crime of the decade." Cause Célèbre is an emotionally complex real-life drama of love, betrayal, guilt and obsession spun hopelessly out of control. Did Alma Rattenbury as she confessed bludgeon her ailing husband to death? Or, was it Bowen, her 18-year old lover desperately driven by their affair into a fit of jealous rage?
