For those that scroll down the comments to see what people think of this film, I think its an excellent film, well-acted and well scripted and well worth a watch.
I never got to meet him. I live in nz and he and wife lived on england. Only got to see him in these movies once i was old enough to watch them. Is sad i never got to meet in person. He was a lovely man and shame we never got to say goodbye. :-( He isnt forgotton and stay in touch and spend time with aunty when she flys out to see us in new zealand.
Amanda Hays awe that’s so hard sweetie. I can completely relate. But it’s so lovely that you carry him in your heart and get to see your auntie when she flys over. If only we were millionaires or even better if airplane ticket were free- we could go see family afar anytime we wanted. Stay sweet and have a beautiful day! God bless you! NicNic Nashville, TN USA
Thinking about the real victims of stalking...one can't help but wonder how hard it must be for them. This is touching especially because it's based on a true story. Actually real people went through all of that, but I'm glad that in the end it was solved.
WOW! What a great movie! I keep finding these movie gems tucked away and I am so glad when I finally stumble across them. Thanks for sharing this with us! ✌️
David Morrissey is one of the best actors !!! I first heard of him when I was watching THE WALKING DEAD and he played the violent and vicious Governor !!! He has no limits !!! He can play any role and make it look authentic !!! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow I didn't realize this was really based on a true story. Amazing how lives can be changed by this type of person. I was stalked years ago, but not to this extent, and it was a terrible feeling.
I know what you mean! I have had it happen years ago also and it's so entertaining , well no it's not because I still, every time I see a blonde woman I think back to it and then the ptsd takes over 🤗I guess it will be somewhat healing to tell the whole world what happened 🤣 I had a miscarriage which did take me a little time to get over actually a long time I don't know why I said that anyway as I left the hospital and drove up to my little house on Wheels, my husband was at work at the time and I went to open the door and there was a padlock on the outside and I was very confused to say the least and escalated to angry just simply because I heard my music playing and I never leave it on so ooo
i was stalked by an ex husband for so long n so many years i ended up having to move to england from australia for a year (he had no passport or any idea where in england) .... he was doin the freakiest shit like breaking in n leaving notes about watching me sleep or id come home from work n hed b asleep in my bed holding one of my dresses like it was me... he even stole a rotten old tooth i had pulled... it was just sick
Good Movie! Some people are seriously disturbed/down right crazy and scary. I can't believe the Debbie character had to deal with all of that only to have the man do her so wrong, too. That man's a real narcissist for sure. They will even and lie and make up ways to justify their horrid behaviors. Known a couple of them in my days, sad to say. They really don't care who they hurt or even destroy as long as they get what they want. Thanks for sharing!
I worked with Maria Marchase on the cheese counter at Selfridges for a few years. I liked her. She was quirky but funny. Always well presented and poised. I couldn't believe it when I heard what she had done. This actress gets her accent bang on. When I hear the actress I can hear Maria talking on the cheese counter 20 years ago.

My 2 reactions to this film 1) Hopefully it raises awareness of stalking and helps stalking victims get taken more seriously. 2) He's a cold-hearted prick for telling a woman who is close to being murdered that she is weak & betraying her while they are supposed to be getting married. He didn't deserve what Maria Marchese did to him, but what a bastard.
Very good movie. I want to know what happened to the "friend" MARIA did all this for? I am happy for Debbie picking up the pieces, moving on and starting fresh. Absolutely excellent acting, script, and download. Thx for sharing. 👏🏽👏🏽🙋🏻
My son was stalked for five years ,the police were useless ,I used to have the upmost respect for the police ,the only thing the police took action on was my sons car brake light ,if this ever happens to you god help you the police won't ,the only way we had help from the police was a begging letter to the chief constable , ....this is so lifelike apart from police involvement .....I pray to god that no one goes through the hell my son went through it drove him almost to insanity ,it all stopped when the chief constable became involved ,the biggest joke of all was the police knew who the stalker was ,if this happens to you badger the chief constable and make sure your car break lights are working ,this film brought it all back to me ,well done police for the help we never got.
Yes I've been stalked before as well , good luck getting anyone to help you , or believe you. And yes you do eventually feel like your going insane. I'm glad your son had someone who did believe him.
How long ago? No stalking laws in the early nineties when I was divorcing my psycho husband. It was horrible the things he did both in breaking in my house, and in accosting me in public and saying horrible things in stores while he followed me.
Watched it quite a few times in S. Korea, and Azerbaijan, and watching it now in Pakistan. Totally understand. Thanks to the director, and the person who uploaded it. Job well done!!🙏
Well well Jan was a piece of work, he didn't want to talk to Debbie when she was getting all the crap dumped on her because he said she seemed weak but when he became the victim he certainly didn't waste any time crying and complaining to his new lover about all of it. It's quite funny how people perceive someone until the same thing happens to them. Jan was the weak one turning to another woman because he didn't want to deal with Debbie's so called weakness when she was going through all this because of him. As Debbie said: be careful what you wish for. Jan and his new wife deserve one another, there both a cheating SOB.
Yeah, two timing creep. Their wedding date was already set when he was off with the other woman. I wouldn't have bailed him out, but I suppose she wanted to make sure Maria got her come uppance, so decided to speak after all.
And then he blamed his new girlfriend for not being on the pill so they used a condom .Maria found his condom in the trash and rubbed his DNA in her underwear. He of course blamed her for getting pregnant and called her a tart (Which is a whore in Britain.)
Facts about this movie 1. Not all man who will promise to marry you, will really do it. 2. Cheaters are the evil one 3. The stalker is brilliant. 4. You'll know if your partner is faithful when both of you encountered terrible situation. Over all I salute that woman, a very strong woman despite having lot of death threats and worst his soon to be husband cheat on him on the day he needs him most. Thanks to Maria for showing David true color.
Seriously? That stalker woman is bat shit crazy and ruined three lives...not to mention almost sending 'the evil cheater' to prison for a crime he did not commit. Crazy stalker lady came into their lives and messed with them long before he cheated...nobody can predict how one will act in whacked out situations like that...not to mention not everybody thinks cheating is reason to end a relationship. Being harassed 24/7 and being sent to prison for something you didn't even do is NOT ok just because this guy cheated on his girlfriend. This movie is based on a true story, you should read more about the extent of crazy this woman put this couple through; she's totally nuts and has done this to multiple people.
Hedgehog's Right of Passage Technically/legally speaking, no, it is not. However, honestly, it depends on the couple. Some people have open relationships and don't care about that stuff...other people who commit to monogamy do care. You need to make your wishes and expectations known to your partner *before* getting married so hopefully you avoid these types of situations.
A stalker is NEVER brilliant! What weird world do you live in to think this? She ruined lives and had done similar previously to another couple. It was only right she went to prison, she was an awful lying person. Seriously, you need to think about your opinions.
Here's a thought --- very beginning of the movie - SWITCH YOUR PHONES OFF !!!!! We lived without mobile phones for thousands of years and the world still kept on turning.
@@lisettelachat1870 Oh I'm guessing you're one of those people we see on videos falling into fountains while on your phone cos you ain't bright enough to look where you're walking.
People feel too self-important. I remember back in the day when pagers became a thing... My friend got a huge ego because his workplace issued him a pager which he saw is meaning he was so important they felt the need to be able to contact him at any time. He was not at all important, but still they could contact them at any time for any stupid reason, even when he was on holiday lol.. joke's on him.
As much as you wanted to despise Maria, you have to admit that she did one heck of an acting job in this one. And as far as the doctor is concerned, his girlfriend certainly didn't deserve this: "Because I slept with an airhead tart who didn't love me enough to go on the pill." My jaw dropped and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. First of all, the pill is NOT without side effects and a condom would be the healthier option. I wouldn't blame a woman for that at all.
Well ... I would. For example, in my own life, I started out dating and getting on the pill in the late 1970s. In THOSE DAYS, if a young woman got pregnant, it was HER FAULT. Women need to take some responsibility.
How many men are punished because of injustice by someone of the opposite sex just because it is assumed that the man is the criminal just for being the man? This happened in my case, where my now ex-wife had me arrested for domestic violence and because I am the man, I am the one in the wrong. Later when I was being interviewed I was asked if I wanted to prosecute my wife, based on the evidence, for assault but I declined and accepted a caution. Little did I know that this caution would appear on the National Police Computer of UK until I am one hundred years old. This now stops me from getting a resident permit to live abroad with my new wife who is a national of that country, it stops me from working with elderly people, it stops me from working in schools with children. I have appealed against the decision through ACRO, I have written to two MPs, one of who passed on my letter to Home Secretary Pritti Pittel and whose administration just referred me back to ACRO. I have contacted the Chief Constable of Lincolnshire Police in whose jurisdiction the misfortune took place, I have contacted the Police Commission Office and an organisation that deals with people's data being held inappropriately and who said that my name was being held on the NPC for a disproportionate length of time. I was a teacher by profession and have worked abroad for many years and still I want to help people in Africa who need new knowledge about sustainable development relating to agriculture but all this is made impossible because of what I feel is an injustice where the woman's testament is believed over the mine....so about the film: I was happy to see that justice was done...but sad that the woman did something like that for some unknown reason and hope she would receive help and support in prison or later.
I would love to know how she was able to place all those phone calls one after the other in such quick succession from a pay phone. As soon as one call was ending the other was ringing.
The stalker plays the part well, she was also Rosemary West in the drama Appropriate Adult, good movie, touching performances thank you for sharing really enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing this film. I have heard about it but the title did not get my attention. The spelling of U instead of You I thought it was some rapper type of movie. The actress who plays Maria Marchese is the murderess in Agatha Christie's After the Funeral. She plays two roles, Cora and Ms. Gilchrist. She has such distinctive features and her facial expressions are very similar in both movies since she plays the role of a deceiver, I recognized her right away. That's one of my favorite Hercule Poirot's episodes.
When you think you really know someone,my gosh he's so insensitive towards his fiancée In the time of need. And when the shoe was on his feet oh what a weakling he was....And the blame game about her fault using a condom. AHH red flag
The actress who played Maria, is amazing. Monica Dolan was in "After the Funeral", Agatha Christies, Hercule Poirot....she was brilliant in that as well. I mean she was really excellent! I think she won an award portraying Rosemary West in "Appropriate Adult", I could see her playing that serial killer, just can't find the film.
Batterfly Sparkle No worries. If you squeeze your eyes they might look alike. Lol...I think that Monica can go to the frump spectrum alot easier than Lena...know what I mean?
I know that struck me as odd . How did she get all the numbers, the roto dials? All the personal info??? The script made her character like a old lady!!!! Not a tech genius!!!🤷🏽🤷🏽🤷🏽🤷🏽🤷🏽
Try saying I do at 3pm and have new husband 's 12yr. old daughter pull you out side to show you her dad doing the no no in the hot tub with your brothers wife.. it happened to me
@@barbaratroha7398 @Barbara I can't even lie and say I understand how you felt when that happened. But seeing that was a clear indication of how your life is going to be like if you continue to stay. Again horrible thing to happen but the good opportunity to decide whether you stay and convince yourself you will get him to change or pack your things and leave with your heart and spirit still intact. Again I'm sorry you went through that, but I'm proud that you are now in the position to talk about it and not feel ashamed. It was never your fault. I hope you are now emotionally stronger and at peace ☮️ ❣️
Great inappropriate line ... she needs to talk to him about her fears. 'I can't survive if you won't let me talk about it.' He replies 'I don't see how that will help.' He's a psychiatrist. Great ad for is profession!!!
alice hudson...he was more upset about the white paint on his porsche. He does not really seem to be bothered that his fiance's life is being threatened...because it's not about him. He is finding her tiresome, poor lad! P.S. my spell check said that i spelled the car's name wrong...but, it was because I did not capitalize the p....Really?!
One comment I read did not put him in good light as far as being a psychiatrist was concerned and to see him lose control over "an air headed tart" only accentuates this. He needs some treatment me thinks. Besides he cheated and that rounds him out nicely. He did not deserve a round of applause or cheers. Bounder is the correct adjective and I will add cad as well.
Would love to see a movie with David Morrisey as Liam Neeson's younger brother. They have similar looks and voices...and I believe it would be very convincing....
@Percy Elgar absolutely true! Married 27 years and we still feel the same as the day we met, because we are best friends. The best advice I can give: fight fair and cherish your friendship.
some of them still exist and do still work. I think they tend to keep some hanging around because they represent something 'British' - specially in touristy places, even if they're empty of the phones don't work. Some of them don't accept change anymore, only card, although even then I think you can still ring 999 or the operator on 100. it's funny watching how tourists seem to love them so much tbh, local people don't give a toss lol
when she needed a shoulder to lean on, i think this doctor was the weakest one he left and had a an affair,8 if only he stayed with her and supported eachother but again the psycho stalker made sure that he never ever got married to Debbie
Maria Marchese says somewhere. 'A nun once said to me, "No matter how hard you cry, no one will hear you." She is Argentinian. Her story, of how she got to be where she was, shall never be told. Ariel Dorfmann's "Death and the Maiden' gives, perhaps, a little insight into Maria.
Natashaw3, that shows how much you know about people. He wasn't cold, just confused, human. He was honest at the most crucial moment, admitting his affair. He wanted to marry.
I'd like to find that cheating backstabbing self centered doctor. Dumps his fiancée because she wasn't 'tough enough' or whatever to ignore constant death threats. Has an affair and runs off. And then has the gall to stew and fret about his reputation: "For the rest of my life, people will think I'm a rapist." I would just like to find him on facebook or something and let him know there's no worries. Nobody thinks he's a rapist. But we all know he's a complete A-hole! Would any patient suffering from mental and emotional issues really get good treatment from a bastard that treats a person the way he did? And at such a terrible time, going through such terrifying and constant stalking.
What a tangled mess that was. How easy it can happen to anybody, just saying. And innocent people get hurt. Have to be careful who you screw around with. Can come back and bite you in the arse.
This movie is long enough to really catch a glimpse of Lucy Griffiths. Even with all those Robin Hood flicks she was in, you could not figure her out. I like this.
Stalkers are usually people who are unemployed or have a lot of spare time on their hands. I went through it with the son of a couple who lived in my apartment building. Lucky me - he had a key to the front door. He would threaten to kill me at my apartment door at 3:00 a.m. and shove notes through my letter box. It went on for six months. I lived in constant fear, couldn't go anywhere without him following me, harassing me with phone calls at work and even calling the police to tell them that I had killed someone in his garage. He followed me to a restaurant a friend of mine took me to and then followed him home. He then called me at work the next day and told me that he had killed my friend. He was an unemployed mental case who was funded by his parents, who were also terrified of him. He was adopted and had caused them a lot of trouble. He had a record for stalking and harassing many women something the police would have known if they had bothered to check. Instead the first police officer my boss called wrote in his report that I was crazy and had made the entire thing up. In the end I waited for this guy in front of my apartment building and we fought it out. I let him hit me so that I had something to report to the police. He was caught after a week of hiding out and thrown in jail. I'm wondering how this woman who didn't seem to have a computer in her apartment was able to have her calls skip around and be untraceable. She didn't seem to be friends with anyone who could have done this for her. Were her phone records even checked?
I had LBC on Tuesday 4 June 2017 and a woman called Maria phoned up saying she spent 7 years in prison for perverting the course of justice and threatening to kill someone. She got out in 2013 and she sounded exactly like the woman on here. I know this is an actress, but she must be emulating the real Maria, so it made me think it was her. Could be coincidence, but the likeness was remarkable.
Jeepers Creepers, 10 minutes into the movie and I was on the edge of my seat, wonder what was going to happen next. EEEEKKKK, AAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love thrillers like this, were you keep wonder what is going to happen next and the Big Ugly Bad Person is just a shadow.
I am amazed by their acting, how poeple cope and behave under stress is fascinating to see. Even the nut case have some great acting skills. I find is different to have phones on the ocean, it is peculiar.
I suppose she did try the home phone, and even the letter through the door. Anyway, you'd still have to check your phone for messages you did want to receive. I don't think changing the number would help, as she always seemed to find a way of getting to know things. @@MrLyndarenaud
Excellent film, excellent acting.. all too rare these days. Rape trials must be the most difficult to sit in judgment on, imagine someone falsely accused, how their life would be destroyed.. many years in prison, loathed by the other inmates, repeatedly attacked, maybe knifed.. eventually to come out and never again able to lead a normal life, listed as a sex offender in any neighbourhood they choose to live in, if a professional, as with this case, livelihood destroyed..suicide must be a temptation. The jury had better get it right.
Maria, the stalker, is a scary person. If she stalked other people in the past before Jan and ex-fiancé, I wonder if she stalked others after she was released. So, where is she now? 🙄
Hey, I recognised that brilliant, humorous and endearing character (the northern England copper placed ingeniously and to great effect in the 19th century Canadian setting ) from that unique masterpiece "Murdoch Mysteries). I didn't realise it was him at first, it was his voice that identified him for me. I think his name is Thomas Craig
Wait? This is the true story of a Dr. and his GF being stalked by a woman who says she's in ❤️ love with the good Dr. He then falls in love with a younger woman anyhow...? Really? That's the description of this movie? This is based on a true story? Wow. Life is stranger than fiction isn't it? Damn....
I live in Dorset, near Bournemouth, so it's interesting to hear about this old case. Exciting! That woman though!!! The doctor should have had to drug himself first before going anywhere near that thing. lol

The film said she had a clean record when in fact she had been held over for doing the same thing to another couple a few years previously
Matthew Larsen If she was held over that does not go on your record if she was not charged with the crime.
A powerful story, well acted. A vile woman versus an equally vile man. Maria and Jan deserved each other.
No. Sadiq Khan deserves Maria.
An awful comment. Jan is well known to be a decent chap, well liked by those around him
He treated Debbie so bad... and it's not for cheating, he was so cruel and cold when she need it him most....
Here's a thought --- very beginning of the movie - SWITCH YOUR PHONES OFF !!!!! We lived without mobile phones for thousands of years and the world still kept on turning.
It was obvious why Jan couldn't just turn his phone off,it would've been very irresponsible of him being he was a doctor and all.
@@yehmen29 oh stfu who asked you.
I wouldn't be able to watch the film if I switched off my mobile I'm watching this on it ... bright spark
@@lisettelachat1870 Oh I'm guessing you're one of those people we see on videos falling into fountains while on your phone cos you ain't bright enough to look where you're walking.
People feel too self-important.
I remember back in the day when pagers became a thing... My friend got a huge ego because his workplace issued him a pager which he saw is meaning he was so important they felt the need to be able to contact him at any time.
He was not at all important, but still they could contact them at any time for any stupid reason, even when he was on holiday lol.. joke's on him.
As much as you wanted to despise Maria, you have to admit that she did one heck of an acting job in this one.
And as far as the doctor is concerned, his girlfriend certainly didn't deserve this: "Because I slept with an airhead tart who didn't love me enough to go on the pill." My jaw dropped and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. First of all, the pill is NOT without side effects and a condom would be the healthier option. I wouldn't blame a woman for that at all.
She should have left him then and there after that statement. She was an "airhead tart".
omg that was so awful that he said that!!
Then he says, "Don't worry. I forgive you." LOL. Wow.
@@jcroth2644yes, what a scumbag!! And the girl so stupid to let him speak like that..
Well ... I would. For example, in my own life, I started out dating and getting on the pill in the late 1970s. In THOSE DAYS, if a young woman got pregnant, it was HER FAULT. Women need to take some responsibility.
Very watchable. Kept you gripped right to the Conclusion. Thanks for the upload.
How many men are punished because of injustice by someone of the opposite sex just because it is assumed that the man is the criminal just for being the man? This happened in my case, where my now ex-wife had me arrested for domestic violence and because I am the man, I am the one in the wrong. Later when I was being interviewed I was asked if I wanted to prosecute my wife, based on the evidence, for assault but I declined and accepted a caution. Little did I know that this caution would appear on the National Police Computer of UK until I am one hundred years old. This now stops me from getting a resident permit to live abroad with my new wife who is a national of that country, it stops me from working with elderly people, it stops me from working in schools with children. I have appealed against the decision through ACRO, I have written to two MPs, one of who passed on my letter to Home Secretary Pritti Pittel and whose administration just referred me back to ACRO. I have contacted the Chief Constable of Lincolnshire Police in whose jurisdiction the misfortune took place, I have contacted the Police Commission Office and an organisation that deals with people's data being held inappropriately and who said that my name was being held on the NPC for a disproportionate length of time. I was a teacher by profession and have worked abroad for many years and still I want to help people in Africa who need new knowledge about sustainable development relating to agriculture but all this is made impossible because of what I feel is an injustice where the woman's testament is believed over the mine....so about the film: I was happy to see that justice was done...but sad that the woman did something like that for some unknown reason and hope she would receive help and support in prison or later.
I would love to know how she was able to place all those phone calls one after the other in such quick succession from a pay phone. As soon as one call was ending the other was ringing.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣she's superwoman 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
flaw in the moivie script !!!
@@shaziayunis4162 don't think so....
The guy is not all that pleasant or supportive. Really self centered for a Psychiatrist.
Fantastico!!!! Despite being a little blurry this was an enthralling story!
The stalker plays the part well, she was also Rosemary West in the drama Appropriate Adult, good movie, touching performances thank you for sharing really enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing this film. I have heard about it but the title did not get my attention. The spelling of U instead of You I thought it was some rapper type of movie. The actress who plays Maria Marchese is the murderess in Agatha Christie's After the Funeral. She plays two roles, Cora and Ms. Gilchrist. She has such distinctive features and her facial expressions are very similar in both movies since she plays the role of a deceiver, I recognized her right away. That's one of my favorite Hercule Poirot's episodes.
i knew he was no good when he didn't care that she was late for work
Good catch.
When you think you really know someone,my gosh he's so insensitive towards his fiancée In the time of need. And when the shoe was on his feet oh what a weakling he was....And the blame game about her fault using a condom. AHH red flag
I subscribed JUST BECAUSE You Are ITALIANO🇮🇹♥️!!
And...Thanks for the fine Film too;)
Best, Diana Marie NYC🇮🇹🇺🇸♥️
The actress who played Maria, is amazing. Monica Dolan was in "After the Funeral", Agatha Christies, Hercule Poirot....she was brilliant in that as well. I mean she was really excellent! I think she won an award portraying Rosemary West in "Appropriate Adult", I could see her playing that serial killer, just can't find the film.
You are so right,She was also in ''The Unbearable Lightness of Being''.Brilliant actress..She gave us deep impression.
+Batterfly Sparkle Wasn't she tho? I will have to watch her in "The Unbearable Lightness if Being", thanks.
+Waddya Tawkin sorry! i meant i thought Lena Olin act as heroin,but was this tara?they look pretty similar
Batterfly Sparkle No worries. If you squeeze your eyes they might look alike. Lol...I think that Monica can go to the frump spectrum alot easier than Lena...know what I mean?
Surprising how no-one ever questioned her computer- and phone-hacking skills!!!
I know that struck me as odd . How did she get all the numbers, the roto dials? All the personal info??? The script made her character like a old lady!!!! Not a tech genius!!!🤷🏽🤷🏽🤷🏽🤷🏽🤷🏽
It was good that they separated before marriage, sometimes bad things happen for good things to come to light
Try saying I do at 3pm and have new husband 's 12yr. old daughter pull you out side to show you her dad doing the no no in the hot tub with your brothers wife.. it happened to me
@@barbaratroha7398 @Barbara I can't even lie and say I understand how you felt when that happened. But seeing that was a clear indication of how your life is going to be like if you continue to stay. Again horrible thing to happen but the good opportunity to decide whether you stay and convince yourself you will get him to change or pack your things and leave with your heart and spirit still intact. Again I'm sorry you went through that, but I'm proud that you are now in the position to talk about it and not feel ashamed. It was never your fault. I hope you are now emotionally stronger and at peace ☮️ ❣️
Great inappropriate line ... she needs to talk to him about her fears. 'I can't survive if you won't let me talk about it.' He replies 'I don't see how that will help.' He's a psychiatrist. Great ad for is profession!!!
alice hudson...he was more upset about the white paint on his porsche. He does not really seem to be bothered that his fiance's life is being threatened...because it's not about him. He is finding her tiresome, poor lad!
P.S. my spell check said that i spelled the car's name wrong...but, it was because I did not capitalize the p....Really?!
alice hudson u my I think. but that line is a hit...
alice Hudson I know right! What an ass!
Most are probably in that profession for the prestige and money anyway!
@@MrLyndarenaud ur spot on...a typical case of Narcissism
One comment I read did not put him in good light as far as being a psychiatrist was concerned and to see him lose control over "an air headed tart" only accentuates this. He needs some treatment me thinks. Besides he cheated and that rounds him out nicely. He did not deserve a round of applause or cheers. Bounder is the correct adjective and I will add cad as well.
It takes two to a tango.......cheers.
Would love to see a movie with David Morrisey as Liam Neeson's younger brother. They have similar looks and voices...and I believe it would be very convincing....
Funny you say that. David has the looks of liam neeson.
you are one of the few people who has said he looks like liam, i have been saying the same thing, yay
Definitely a look alike. The first time I saw David in a movie, I thought it was a young Liam.
Agree. I kept thinking about their similarities.
Mary Bukhari and
Great film ,really David Morrissey is a great actor.
Wow, such a good movie that actually is based on a true story
Truth is stranger than fiction
This is why,and I say this with great sadness,marriage is not a normal state of mind!
@Percy Elgar absolutely true! Married 27 years and we still feel the same as the day we met, because we are best friends. The best advice I can give: fight fair and cherish your friendship.
Carol Ann we HUMANS made that way
This movie was really good! Thank you for uploading it.
Public call boxes on every corner--we'll never see them again...
Still one near my house but it looks derelict.
some of them still exist and do still work. I think they tend to keep some hanging around because they represent something 'British' - specially in touristy places, even if they're empty of the phones don't work. Some of them don't accept change anymore, only card, although even then I think you can still ring 999 or the operator on 100.
it's funny watching how tourists seem to love them so much tbh, local people don't give a toss lol
@@Time_Line_Archive_Project they are everywhere in thailand and still work ! well most of them
@BC Bob not everyone at all, I know lots of folks who don't use them..
@@Ace-ke7fq exactly
omg he still was a weak looser for sleeping around . how could he leave his soon to be wife. crazy. I'm glad she left him.
me too
when she needed a shoulder to lean on, i think this doctor was the weakest one he left and had a an affair,8 if only he stayed with her and supported eachother but again the psycho stalker made sure that he never ever got married to Debbie
So why didn't he answer his fiance when she was calling him , if him not standing by my side, I calling that shit wedding off
Debbie is strong woman
Man is idiot cold cheater!
Excellent, engrossing movie. Thanks for uploading.
And no ads...!!!!!
I wonder is this the stalker lady featured in Baby Reindeer??
That’s what I’m thinking
IT IS! 😊
@@tiffanyylx5525really? I didn’t realise that. The type of stalking behaviours depicted here are quite different to those outlined in Baby Reindeer
Excellent film. Well acted by all. I didn't know about this case. Glad I watched it.
Maria Marchese says somewhere. 'A nun once said to me, "No matter how hard you cry, no one will hear you." She is Argentinian. Her story, of how she got to be where she was, shall never be told. Ariel Dorfmann's "Death and the Maiden' gives, perhaps, a little insight into Maria.
Didn't feel a lot of sympathy for the doctor he came across as really cold. Debbie was well rid. Good thriller well worth a watch.
Natashaw3, that shows how much you know about people. He wasn't cold, just confused, human. He was honest at the most crucial moment, admitting his affair. He wanted to marry.
@@TalentedDilittante Use your same sentence with the word she was confused,come on now!
@@TalentedDilittante Use your same sentence with the word she was confused,come on now!

@@TalentedDilittante He was extremely cold hearted ....a typical Narcissist...
Love those flip and Trac phones here!They aren't walking and looking down at there phones like zombies lol!
Excellent movie . Definitely worth viewing . Maria was a total nut case . Obsessive psychotic personality . Maria's character was very well played .
Richard Shiggins
Oh lord she needs to change her notification sound,lol...Its killing me!! "I BE DEAD THEN" 😆
He had the gall to call her weak yet he is the one who had an affair to compensate his own inability to handle the crisis.
Am I the only one, I dont understand the movie watched until the end but lost.
One of the best movies ive seen on a long time.... thanks for uploading.
I'd like to find that cheating backstabbing self centered doctor.
Dumps his fiancée because she wasn't 'tough enough' or whatever to ignore constant death threats. Has an affair and runs off. And then has the gall to stew and fret about his reputation: "For the rest of my life, people will think I'm a rapist."
I would just like to find him on facebook or something and let him know there's no worries. Nobody thinks he's a rapist. But we all know he's a complete A-hole! Would any patient suffering from mental and emotional issues really get good treatment from a bastard that treats a person the way he did? And at such a terrible time, going through such terrifying and constant stalking.
Typical doctor, I’m afraid
I agree completely!!! He needs a psychiatrist for himself...
the soon to b husband doctor is like a psychopath
What a tangled mess that was. How easy it can happen to anybody, just saying. And innocent people get hurt. Have to be careful who you screw around with. Can come back and bite you in the arse.
great acting. Love the main actors. Lucy Griffiths, his mistress, is in a great movie called "The Little House"
This movie is long enough to really catch a glimpse of Lucy Griffiths. Even with all those Robin Hood flicks she was in, you could not figure her out. I like this.
The stalker actress played the part very well. Irritating, hateful, sly. Much sympathy for fiance. Great movie. THANKS.
Stalkers are usually people who are unemployed or have a lot of spare time on their hands. I went through it with the son of a couple who lived in my apartment building. Lucky me - he had a key to the front door. He would threaten to kill me at my apartment door at 3:00 a.m. and shove notes through my letter box. It went on for six months. I lived in constant fear, couldn't go anywhere without him following me, harassing me with phone calls at work and even calling the police to tell them that I had killed someone in his garage. He followed me to a restaurant a friend of mine took me to and then followed him home. He then called me at work the next day and told me that he had killed my friend. He was an unemployed mental case who was funded by his parents, who were also terrified of him. He was adopted and had caused them a lot of trouble. He had a record for stalking and harassing many women something the police would have known if they had bothered to check. Instead the first police officer my boss called wrote in his report that I was crazy and had made the entire thing up. In the end I waited for this guy in front of my apartment building and we fought it out. I let him hit me so that I had something to report to the police. He was caught after a week of hiding out and thrown in jail. I'm wondering how this woman who didn't seem to have a computer in her apartment was able to have her calls skip around and be untraceable. She didn't seem to be friends with anyone who could have done this for her. Were her phone records even checked?
Being alone is the best thing.
He was a creep wasn’t he? Glad she is rid of him. Thank you for the upload
Monica Dolan giving a brilliant performance as usual. Why isn't an actress of that calibre a bigger name?
Lack of big boobs, fake "beauty", the entertainment industry is ruthless.
I had LBC on Tuesday 4 June 2017 and a woman called Maria phoned up saying she spent 7 years in prison for perverting the course of justice and threatening to kill someone. She got out in 2013 and she sounded exactly like the woman on here. I know this is an actress, but she must be emulating the real Maria, so it made me think it was her. Could be coincidence, but the likeness was remarkable.
Jeepers Creepers, 10 minutes into the movie and I was on the edge of my seat, wonder what was going to happen next. EEEEKKKK, AAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love thrillers like this, were you keep wonder what is going to happen next and the Big Ugly Bad Person is just a shadow.
True stories are like that!
“Anyone can phone up at any time and find your number” - how, exactly?
What the stalker did was wrong but she exposed that arrogant womanizer for what he was .
I agree!!!
I am amazed by their acting, how poeple cope and behave under stress is fascinating to see. Even the nut case have some great acting skills. I find is different to have phones on the ocean, it is peculiar.
silly woman. thank goodness she lost that back stabber future husband.
They don't match in my opinion...tq
Very good movie. Very well written and great acting. I'm becomming a big fan of british movies. Thanks for the upload.
We all must be careful emotions are a strong poison..Good movie
I as a jury and judge would have sent the stalker for psychological analysis and counselling.
She's in Rampton Hospital.
I love films with David Morrissey :3 He is the best actor I've ever seen :3
do they not know how to switch a mobile phone off? plain stupid start
Colin Mcdougal yes. but isn't that rather complicated? haha
Sharon Margret...no! It is very easily done...just takes a couple of seconds! haha
I suppose she did try the home phone, and even the letter through the door. Anyway, you'd still have to check your phone for messages you did want to receive. I don't think changing the number would help, as she always seemed to find a way of getting to know things. @@MrLyndarenaud
Psych ward anyone! Good story....stalkers are in their own demented world.
Luisa Collins - lol, true.
As a one time long ago victim of a stalker, I agree completely.
@@geraldmartin8195 I know what you mean it happened to me to . Very scary not knowing where there going to be.😞
Incredible that this is a real story.
Excellent film, excellent acting.. all too rare these days. Rape trials must be the most difficult to sit in judgment on, imagine someone falsely accused, how their life would be destroyed.. many years in prison, loathed by the other inmates, repeatedly attacked, maybe knifed.. eventually to come out and never again able to lead a normal life, listed as a sex offender in any neighbourhood they choose to live in, if a professional, as with this case, livelihood destroyed..suicide must be a temptation. The jury had better get it right.
Does anyone know if Maria Marchese was paroled? It has been more than 9 Years. I haven't been able to locate any information on the web.
Journalists are probably too scared to do n update in case Maria gets them!
"Maria Marquese isn't my enemy, you are"...
Amen! Sister.Lot of relationship are this way.
Wish they would put the damn phones on vibrate.
😎
Or silent
I had the same thought from the very beginning.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maria, the stalker, is a scary person. If she stalked other people in the past before Jan and ex-fiancé, I wonder if she stalked others after she was released. So, where is she now? 🙄
Stalking some random bitch like yourself?
No one has any legal obligation to answer the phone, so why answer it? Better yet, get rid of it!
Hey, I recognised that brilliant, humorous and endearing character (the northern England copper placed ingeniously and to great effect in the 19th century Canadian setting ) from that unique masterpiece "Murdoch Mysteries). I didn't realise it was him at first, it was his voice that identified him for me. I think his name is Thomas Craig
Helen Day yeah! I just seen him on Murdoch not long ago Thomas Craig your right Helen! brilliant!
Interesting how the woman and detective handle the note that was slipped under the door; no thought for fingerprints from the author at all.
This is an excellent movie and it looks like it was based on real events.
Harrowing and well acted. It didn’t pull its punches.
Very well done. Very realistic. The deranged stalker is lucky to be alive. Too bad she wasn't the one receiving death threats.
Wow! Scary stuff: so many threats from an unidentified source who knows where you live. An enjoyable film with justice triumphing.
:-)
Wow! Excellent movie! Thank you for posting.
Wait? This is the true story of a Dr. and his GF being stalked by a woman who says she's in ❤️ love with the good Dr. He then falls in love with a younger woman anyhow...? Really? That's the description of this movie?
This is based on a true story? Wow. Life is stranger than fiction isn't it? Damn....
You get the feeling the Judge was thinking, "Is she crying? Does she not know there is no crying in all of Britain but definitely not in court rooms!"
hahahaha!
I live in Dorset, near Bournemouth, so it's interesting to hear about this old case. Exciting! That woman though!!! The doctor should have had to drug himself first before going anywhere near that thing. lol
