Corrigan is at once a mordant comedy of manners and a very modern morality play. Since her husbands death, the increasingly frail Mrs. Blunt has had only her trips to his grave to look forward to. Her raucous housekeepers conversation, and cooking, are best forgotten. Nadine, her daughter, is an infrequent, uneasy visitor. Then one day a charming, wheelchairbound Irishman shows up at Mrs. Blunts door in search of charitable contributions. Corrigan is an arch manipulator, Mrs. Blunt is his mark, and before long we realize that they are made for each other. As the two grow ever more entrenched, Nadine fears for her mothers safety (or is it for her own inheritance?). With Corrigan Caroline Blackwood takes a long, hard look at our dearly beloved notions of saints and sinners, victims and villains, patrimony and present pleasureand winks.
