What happens

The Mark of Cain is a 1947 British drama film directed by Brian Desmond Hurst and starring Eric Portman, Sally Gray, Patrick Holt and Dermot Walsh. It was written by Christianna Brand and Francis Crowdy based on the 1943 novel Airing in a Closed Carriage by Marjorie Bowen (as Joseph Shearing), which in turn was based on the true life murder trial of Florence Maybrick.
