Canadian TV Thriller
4 Answers
I`ve looked back, at the 520, most recently posted questions; and it hasn't been asked before? Does anyone remember a one -off Canadian TV movie (from the Late 70's/ Early 80's)? It was filmed on Vancouver Island. It was a story, of a man, in an unhappy marriage who has an affair. He and his mistress, set about an ingenious plot, to get rid of his wife. The wife has heart trouble. In the final scene of the film: the mistress sits up in a bath (having feigned drowning); after the wife went to investigate running water. The shock kills the wife (with a fatal heart attack). The other clue is that the final scene was (i think) accompanied by Prokofiev's "Love of Three Oranges?" Does any one remember the title of the film? Thanks for solving this mystery?

Maybe if you look up that film on Google or something you might find a tie-in with the one you're after.
Sounds like it. It was remade in 1996 with Sharon Stone, Isabelle Adjani, Chazz Palmenteri and Kathy Bates. Very funny and quite creepy as far as I recall. But I don't remember Prokofiev but the I saw the film years ago, so that's hardly surprising.
Found this when googling:
"Diabolique later inspired a thinly disguised B-movie remake by Curtis Harrington in 1967 entitled Games with Simone Signoret playing a variation on her Nicole character, a made-for-television version called Reflections of Murder (1974) featuring Tuesday Weld, Joan Hackett and Sam Waterston".
