This is the true story of Ray Fernandez and Martha Beck who were dubbed "the lonely hearts killers" in the 1940s and were electrocuted in Sing Sing as a result in 1951. They are portrayed by Tony Lo Bianco and Shirley Stoler who give convincing performances.
Outside of the two main characters, everyone else is pretty annoying. The women all seem like slightly stupid nagging types and the film is slow to begin - the women really do grate during this period. The sound quality is also poor throughout the film. However, once the couple get together and do their thing, we have a chilling film. It stays with you.
