Wife, Mother, Murderer is a 1991 thriller starring Judith Light, David Ogden Stiers, and Kellie Overbey. The movie is based on the true story of Marie Hilley, a woman who committed fraud and murder, and went on the run for several years before being arrested. In the movie, Judith Light plays Marie Hilley, a devoted wife and mother from Alabama who seems to have the perfect life. However, things start to go wrong when Marie's husband Frank falls ill with what seems to be a virus. After a few days, Frank dies, and Marie is left devastated. But then strange things start to happen, and soon it becomes clear that Marie is not just mourning her husband - she is also trying to cover up a crime.

As the movie progresses, we learn more about Marie's past and the secrets she has been keeping from her family. We discover that she has a history of fraud and identity theft, and that she has been using different aliases to avoid getting caught. We also see how she manipulates and controls those around her, including her daughter, who becomes suspicious of Marie's behavior.

The tension in the movie heightens as Marie's daughter starts to investigate her mother's activities, and as the police start to close in on Marie. David Ogden Stiers plays the investigator who begins to put the pieces together, and Kellie Overbey plays Marie's daughter, who becomes increasingly alarmed by her mother's behavior.

Throughout the movie, Judith Light gives a strong and compelling performance as Marie, portraying her as a complex and deeply troubled woman who is desperate to avoid getting caught. She is both sympathetic and frightening, and it is hard to know whether to root for her or fear her.

Overall, Wife, Mother, Murderer is a gripping and well-acted thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It is a compelling exploration of the darkest parts of the human psyche, and a disturbing reminder that evil can come in the most unexpected packages.
