[edit] Plot
The plot in the Film is the generally the same as the book - although there are Minor differences such as:
Sir Charles' body was found with marks of violence on it, but Dr. Mortimer did not report it in the trial. In the book there were no signs of violence on the body - Sir Charles was simply scared to death.
