EVIL ANGELS, aka A CRY IN THE DARK (1988)

Director: Fred Schepisi

Writer: John Bryson, Robert Caswell

Meryl Streep as Lindy Chamberlain
Sam Neil as Michael Chamberlain

"A dingo stole my baby!" ... the famous line from this true-crime depiction of Australia's longest and most notorious criminal trial. The Chamberlains were charged with the murder of their young infant Azaria, whom they claimed had been taken by a wild Australian canine. Schepisi skillfully handles the material and works great performances from two outstanding actors. Originally released as 'Evil Angels' in Australia, internationally it was 'A Cry In The Dark'. Well worth watching.
