About The Man from the Pru
The 20 January 1931 slaying of Julia Wallace remains unsolved, despite an ongoing stream of investigative writers giving an impression that a solution to the crime has been found through a surfeit of working hypotheses.
Directed by Rob Rohrer, The Man from the Pru leans on a strong ensemble — Jonathan Pryce, Anna Massey, Susannah York — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1990.
