barrister
brother,
Keith
Durrant,
who
is
on
the
edge
of
becoming
a
judge
is
fearful
of
any
scandal.
When

and
her
estranged
husband
finds
out
about
them,
he
fights
off

and
kills
him
in

as
she

the
murder.
A
mentally
ill
man
has
been
arrested
for
the
crime
and
will
be
incarcerated
for
twenty-one
days,
before
his
trial.
Larry
pursues
three
weeks
of
happiness
in

company,
and
then
plans
to
turn
himself
in
to
the
authorities.
His
brother
prefers
the
innocent
man
be
hung
than
be
excoriated
in
the
newspapers.
The
moral
dilemma
is
solved
–
the
man
in
jail
dies
of
a
heart
attack,
leaving
Wanda
and
Larry
free
to
be
together.
Notes:
Due
to
a
sluggish
plot,
“Twenty-One
Days”
was
not
released
for
two
years
even
though
Vivien
and
Olivier
had
become
famous
in
“GWTW”
and
“Wuthering
Heights.”
