I celebrated the arrival of my Tod Slaughter boxed set by watching Maria Marten, or The Murder in the Red Barn tonight. This 1935 British production is perhaps even closer to pure Victorian melodrama than the 1936 Sweeney Todd, and I loved every minute of it.

I'm really starting to love it a lot, thanks to Tod Slaughter! He's simply superb at it.
