When Frederica Dumay (Cynthia Gibb) inherits her fathers winery, she has no idea of the sort of intrigue that awaits her at her dads fabulous estate. A murder occurs soon afterward, and Fredericas best friend is the victim. She suspects that the culprit is the beautiful but spiteful Arabella Young (Alexandra Kamp-Groenveld), but cannot determine if the crime was the result of passion or greed. This being a Mary Higgins Clark adaptation, not everything is as obvious as it seems -- except for the fact that Frederica herself is the number one candidate to be the murderers next victim. One of several two-hour Clark adaptations broadcast by the PAX network A Crime of Passion was originally slated to air on April 11, 2003, but was bumped back to May 9 of that same year. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
