Graham is highly intelligent, but completely amoral. He becomes interested in science, especially chemistry, and begins to read avidly. Something of a social misfit, he is fascinated by morbid subjects such as poisons and murder. His family environment is intolerable to him and, in particular, his stepmother torments him. He decides to poison those who annoy him, first with antimony and later with thallium. He smugly thinks himself cleverer than all those around him, but nevertheless he is caught and sentenced to \u0027rehabilitation\u0027 at a psychiatric institution. Once there, he undertakes to deceive the new eminent psychiatrist sent there to \u0027cure\u0027 him, thereby securing his release.","wins":1,"nominations":2,"casts":[{"name":"Hugh O\u0027Conor","code":"nm0640560","characters":"Graham Young"},{"name":"Antony Sher","code":"nm0792029","characters":"Dr. Ernest Zeigler"},{"name":"Tobias Arnold","code":"nm0036653","characters":"Young Graham"},{"name":"Ruth Sheen","code":"nm0790689","characters":"Molly"},{"name":"Roger Lloyd Pack","code":"nm0516181","characters":"Fred"},{"name":"Norman Caro","code":"nm0138928","characters":"Mr. Goez"},{"name":"Dorothea Alexander","code":"nm0018385","characters":"Mrs. Goez"},{"name":"Charlotte Coleman","code":"nm0170976","characters":"Winnie"},{"name":"Paul Stacey","code":"nm0820981","characters":"Dennis"},{"name":"Samantha Edmonds","code":"nm0249518","characters":"Sue"},{"name":"Robert Demeger","code":"nm0218290","characters":"Mr. Dexter"},{"name":"Jack Deam","code":"nm0212675","characters":"Mick"},{"name":"Peter Pacey","code":"nm0655217","characters":"Dickie Boone"},{"name":"Joost Siedhoff","code":"nm0796830","characters":"Dr. Scott"},{"name":"Vilma Hollingbery","code":"nm0391108","characters":"Aunty Panty"},{"name":"Frank Mills","code":"nm0589992","characters":"Uncle Jack"},{"name":"Rupert Farley","code":"nm0267677","characters":"Nurse Trent"},{"name":"Dirk Robertson","code":"nm0731808","characters":"Nurse Hopwood"}],"budget":null,"lifetimeGross":{"amount":536825,"currency":"USD"},"openingWeekendGross":null,"worldwideGross":{"amount":536825,"currency":"USD"},"keywords":[{"text":"poisoner"},{"text":"murder by poison"},{"text":"thallium poisoning"},{"text":"feature film directorial debut"},{"text":"serial killer crime"}],"production":[{"id":"co0031229","text":"Bavaria Film and Television Fund"},{"id":"co0019383","text":"British Screen Productions"},{"id":"co0056024","text":"Eurimages"}],"prestigiousAwardSummary":null,"moreLikeThisTitles":[{"code":"tt0205873","title":"The Dish"},{"code":"tt0176364","title":"Crapston Villas"},{"code":"tt0069427","title":"Twins of Evil"},{"code":"tt0071517","title":"Foxy Brown"},{"code":"tt0309912","title":"Nicholas Nickleby"},{"code":"tt1674780","title":"Peter"},{"code":"tt6981066","title":"Murdered for Being Different"},{"code":"tt0047849","title":"Bad Day at Black Rock"},{"code":"tt0301173","title":"The Good Doctor Bodkin-Adams"},{"code":"tt0356476","title":"Cold Light of Day"},{"code":"tt0395481","title":"The Brides in the Bath"},{"code":"tt0862651","title":"Angel of Death: The Beverly Allitt Story"}]}
