- "This dramatic story written in the form of a film scenario, is based on the case of the murderers Burke and Hare which came to trial in Edinburgh more than a hundred years ago ... It is a grim subject, to which the author brings a poetic quality, both in the dialogue spoken by the diverse male and female characters and in the 'film shooting directions'."
