ABC Mystery Time -- Half an Hour

Lady Lilian has made up her mind — she is leaving her cold, loveless marriage to the wealthy financier Richard Garson and running away with Hugh Paton, the man she truly loves. She has exactly half an hour. Adapted from J.M. Barrie's taut 1913 one-act play and featuring the legendary Sir Ralph Richardson, this intimate drama from ABC Mystery Time wrings extraordinary emotional tension from a compressed, almost real-time timeframe. In the space of thirty minutes, desire and duty collide — and fate has the final word.
