Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Claudio Carvalho In 1940, in London, a prostitute is found dead in her room in a boarding house with a swastika carved on her tongue. The rookie pathologist Dr Lennox Collins (Patrick Kennedy) is summoned by Detective Freddie Wilkins (David Sturzaker) to investigate the crime scene. They meet the snoopy journalist and aspiring writer Molly Cooper (Tamzin Merchant) in the spot and Lennox invites her to be his assistant. Then they interview the Anglo-German Wilfred Zeigler (John Heffernan), who found the body and collect cards of women photos. After the autopsy, they discover that the woman had gone to the Metropol night-club and they decide to visit the place with Wilkins. Three men do not have alibi and become suspects. When two other women are murdered in the same modus operandi, Wilkins accuses Zeigler with circumstantial evidences only. When the gay actor Ronald Terry (John Bowe) is found dead apparently after committing suicide, Lennox and Molly believe the murders are connected. Lennox is not convinced that Zeigler is the serial-killer and proceeds with his investigation. Who might have killed the women and the actor? "Murder on the Home Front" is a promising TV Movie about murders in wartime that could have been better and better. The odd story is interesting but the rushed conclusion is not satisfactory and disappoints. The chemistry between Patrick Kennedy and Tamzin Merchant is worthwhile watching with funny moments and dialogues. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Assassinatos em Tempo de Guerra" ("Murders in Wartime")

carbuff Comes across as a pilot for a PBS murder series, which probably didn't quite have the ratings to justify it's production.It's pretty well-done, but definitely not first-class. Much along the lines of "Foyle's War", also being set in London during WWII, but without nearly the same level of care and attention to detail put into it. There are a few graphic scenes, but overall it's a pleasant enough production, although fairly predictable. Still, it's better than nearly all American TV, most of which demonstrates either very poor or exaggerated character development, preferring to simply kill time between spilling blood instead. Overall, not a great British TV production, but not bad either.

rps-2 This an odd sort of film. There is nothing specially good about it. The acting, the production, the effects and even the plot are all somewhat mediocre. Yet it has its moments. Setting a Jack The Ripper sort of story against the London blitz is unique in itself. But the intriguing aspect is that they have combined some pretty gory scenes with an offbeat sort of humour. I'm not sure whether it's a war movie, a murder mystery or a comedy. Maybe a bit of each. Not a great film by any means. Yet it's something different and we enjoyed it. Was this perhaps inspired by Foyle's War? It also had the look of a pilot for a planned TV series that never happened.

connema I was disappointed with this production. It was more like those B films that Hollywood put out in the 40's and 50's. I frankly did not care for the leads since they had no charisma. Also the look of the film was not sharp. Some of the acting was amateurish also especially the owner of the club. He was straight out of a B movie. The club scenes I suppose were meant to interesting but again I kept thinking that look like something Monogram and even Republic studios would have put out. What's will that guy constantly dancing on stage to the music. Sorry I am a big supporter of British programs but this just did live up to stuff. I see it was made by Carnival Films and not the BBC
