Skeleton of Mrs. Morales (Spanish: El Esqueleto de la señora Morales) is a 1960 Mexican black comedy film based on Arthur Machen’s 1927 short story "The Islington Mystery".
After the wife breaks his new camera, he poisons her to death and puts her skeleton on display.
Pablo Morales (Arturo de Córdova) is a cheerful taxidermist, who lives with his bitter, crippled, obsessive, and extremely religious wife Gloria (Amparo Rivelles).
The police and local priest become suspicious and he is put on trial, but he manages to escape man's justice (but not God's).
Arthur Machen's original 1927 essay, "The Islington Mystery", which can be found in his collection The Cosy Room, was based largely on the case of the famous murderer Dr. Crippen.
