Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Blistering performances.

Another reviewer states that this film has only been shown once on television in UK - I disagree with this as my archives hold a DVD copy of a VHS tape made of a broadcast on 01/09/2002 by C5, and I am confident in stating that this film was also broadcast on 02 or 03/10/1998 also by C5.Most of the characters in this film conform to stereotypes, and the dilemma is deciding which gender comes off worse: we see pretty Jean (Ingrid Hafner), who plans to leave doting husband Harry (Peter Halliday) on their wedding anniversary and flee the country with the proceeds of her heroin trafficking; Harry's harridan mother (Joan Heath); the omnipresent nosy next-door-neighbour Edna Jones (Patricia Burke); the inconvenient local church restoration fund collector (Barbara Lott) and her spooky acolyte; and, best of all, the casualty sister who tears Jean's Elastoplast off with barely concealed glee.The men don't fare any better: there's Harry himself, who decides that the best course of action when finding a corpse in his bathroom is to pull up the living room floorboards to create an impromptu grave; a comedy lower middle manager husband of aforementioned nosy neighbour; a comedy dodgy builders' merchant complete with dodgy dozy Steven Berkoff lookalike sidekick; a blind piano tuner (Arthur Hewlett); a young piano student who seems to be mute (but is probably only voiceless here to save actor's fees) and, finally, Patrick Jordan as a plain clothes detective suffering from virtual brain death.All comes right in the end though, with sexy Jean probably going to the gallows for murder - all's well that ends well - Result! 10/10 MJB

Coming to this film only eleven years (!) after Chris Gaskins' review, his comment "The piano tuner being blind is a little far fetched though" stirred a memory,so I looked online and saw that there is indeed an Association of Blind Piano Tuners. It may be an edition of QI that I am remembering, and I believe that Stephen Fry said that there is no authoritative figure of the number of UK piano tuners. My education is not solely derived from TV, I hasten to add.

Now here's a dilemma -What do you do when you come home early to your little semi-detached in commuter land to find the house empty apart from a dead body in your bathroom? Why, naturally, you draw the curtains and dig a hole in the middle of the living-room, don't you? Ignoring various neighbours asking for cups of tea and people fossicking around in your herbaceous border, your scheme is nearly foiled by the blind piano-tuner who.... Oh never mind... On second thoughts, it's not too bad a suspense/drama thing, with a twist of course, and worth an hour of your time.

Dilemma came on Channel 5 some time ago and I was pleased I taped it. It is quite an obscure movie.A school teacher returns home from work and finds the dead body of a man in the bathroom. He doesn't know how it got there. His wife is missing as well, so there could be some connection here. He wraps the body with the shower curtain and takes it downstairs where he eventually digs up the floorboards in the living room. He keeps getting interrupted though, by a nosey neighbour, a blind piano tuner and a young boy who has come for his weekly piano lesson. He buries the corpse eventually and puts the floorboards back. His wife then arrives. What does she Know?This is quite a good little movie and the nosey neighbour is a typical occurrence in the UK. There are some where I live. The piano tuner being blind is a little far fetched though.Look out for Dilemma on TV listings. Not bad at all.Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
