10 Foolproof Movie Methods For Murdering Your Spouse

1. Always Quit While You're Ahead (Black Widow, 1987)

Remember when I said that you can only do it once? Well, that€™s only true if you don€™t plan on making a career out of it. In Black Widow (1987), Theresa Russell's character Catherine marries lonely millionaires, and then murders them for their money. Incredibly, she does this seven times in a row, changing her appearance and her style to attract her new mate and distance herself from the previous crime. This is her vocation, not a crime of passion. So overconfident (and so sociopathic) is she that she continues with her murderous games long after she could have retired long since on the money from the previous six husbands. There€™s a lesson to be learned there: six murdered husbands is quite enough. You€™re only leaving money on the table if there€™s a chance of you walking away with it. If there isn€™t, then walk away without it. When Catherine figures out that she€™s being investigated, she decides to play a game of cat and mouse (rather than pulling a Matty Walker and vanishing with a convenient burned body and matching dental records trailing in her wake). Of course, Catherine€™s not as smart as she thinks she is, and finds herself hoist by her own petard. Never mind. She was probably running that prison within a few weeks.
