Dr. Crippen is a 1963 British biographical film directed by Robert Lynn and starring Donald Pleasence, Coral Browne and Samantha Eggar.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "It is unfortunate for the generally capable team responsible for this straightforward account of the Crippen case that their material should be so familiar.

It means that we expect something extra ... Well, it has its moments: Crippen's calm and resigned interview ... ; the dinner party on the evening of Belle's death, with its aura of respectable, neighbourly shock given just the right edge of absurdity ...

In particlular there is a superb performance from Coral Browne as the sensual, sharp-tongued Belle, building from restless infidelity and resentment to coarse, drunken rage without once succumbing to the caricature which the part invites.

Donald Pleasence is at his sinister best playing the monstrous doctor who murders his persecuting wife in order to elope with his typist lover.
