Fingersmith

Con games run rampant in this intriguing, twist-filled, 3-hour 2005 BBC adaptation of Sarah Waters Booker's novel in which a devious English thief (Imelda Stanton) and infant caregiver, who lives in the slums of London, and her two London associates (Rupert Evans and Sally Hawkins) plan an elaborate, clever scheme in 1862 to steal the £40,000 fortune of the sheltered, nightmare-plagued heiress (Elaine Cassidy) working to catalog the erotic collection of her book-crazed uncle (Charles Dance).
