Olivia Colman as Edith Swan looking shocked in Wicked Little Letters
The Big Picture Once upon a time in 1920s Great Britain, two women became the spotlight of a raucous scandal that rocked the whole country. It all started with the sending of – hold your bloomers – foul-mouthed letters. The idea of one of them writing such vulgar and crude words was unthinkable. What can now be publicly seen on an hourly basis in a Twitter exchange between enraged users was, at the time, a totally serious matter.
Wicked Little Letters 710 RComedyCrimeDrama When people in Littlehampton--including conservative local Edith--begin to receive letters full of hilarious profanities, rowdy Irish migrant Rose is charged with the crime. Suspecting that something is amiss, the town's women investigate. Eventually, other people started to receive letters as well. Edith’s fiancé received one in which she was accused of adultery, provoking a brief suspension of their engagement. The Swans quickly accused Rose of writing them, and she was imprisoned not one, but two times. During one of those incarcerations, a notebook with the same handwriting was sent to the police, proving Rose couldn’t have written it or the letters.
Gladys goes against her superiors and gets suspended from her duties, while summing up the ladies of Littlehampton to her cause. The crew that she assembles comes up with the invisible ink idea. And, in a climax that sees Edith and Rose coming face to face, they end up proving Edith is the culprit. Although now discovered and sentenced to an incarceration period, Edith seems freer than ever.
