The legendary David Lean directs this retelling of the true-life events that led to the “trial of the century” in Victorian Scotland: the murder of Emile L’Angelier by his lover, the aristocratic Madeleine Smith (played with fervor by Lean's wife, Ann Todd). Part melodrama, part trial film, Madeleine exemplifies Lean’s well-wrought characters and directorial restraint.
