Lord Arthur Savile's Crime

A young British nobleman learns from a palm reader that he is destined to commit murder. Initially horrified, he decides to embrace his fate and attempt to commit the crime before his wedding. However, his attempts to kill his intended victim prove comically inept and fraught with unexpected complications.

The film is a lesser-known adaptation of Oscar Wilde's short story.

Audiences and critics have found it to be a lighthearted but somewhat forgettable comedy.

• A light and somewhat whimsical adaptation of a classic tale.

• The performances are generally well-received, particularly Gladys Cooper.

• Lacks the sharp wit and dark humor of Oscar Wilde's original story.
