If Bedelia is on your watchlist, here is the complete breakdown — plot, cast, ratings, and where to stream it in HD. Rated 5.1/10 from 9 viewers, it lands as a mixed entry in the genre. Read on for the full plot overview, the cast and crew, critical reception, and answers to the questions fans ask most.
The premise of Bedelia, explained
Bedelia centers on a premise that unfolds like this: Bedelia Carrington is living happily, it appears, in Monte Carlo with her husband Charlie Carrington. But a cultivated young artist, Ben Chaney, begins probing into her past with curious concern. Chaney, who is really a detective, learns that Bedelia's obsession for money has led her, in the past, to husband-poisoning for the insurance money.
What sets it apart is how it treats its drama and mystery elements not as decoration but as the engine of the plot. The tagline — "MARGARET LOCKWOOD as BEDELIA who had more than her share of men, jewels, and love and wanted more, more, MORE!" — captures that tone perfectly. For a frame-by-frame breakdown, the dedicated Wikipedia entry and IMDb trivia pages are excellent companions.
