"Dusty Portrait" is a 1952 American television play by Sumner Locke Elliott.[1][2] It was based on the Florence Maybrick case.[3]
Elliott had a very small role.[4]
" Florence Chandler, a young American girl who marries James Maybrick, a Liverpool manufacturer. He takes her to live in the gloomy Maybrick house supervised by his bitter sister, Edith Maybrick. When James dies, Edith accuses Florence of having brought about his death by the use of arsenic poisoning, and so began one of the most famous trials in history. This case helped to bring about the reform in English law providing for a Court of Criminal Appeal."[5]
