I can't remember exactly why I chose this one, but the title was interesting. And an upturned glass really has nothing to do with the movie.
Michael performs surgery on a girl and falls in love with her mother. The problem is that Emma is already married, so they eventually have to cut things off. Michael is shocked when he hears Emma had an accident and fell out a window to her death. Suspecting foul play, he plays the detective.
Without concrete evidence, he concludes Emma's sister-in-law pushed her out the window. The woman is a shrew, but I'm still not sure how Emma died for certain. She was probably pushed out the window, but for some reason, I needed to hear a confession. Michael then comes up with this "perfect murder" plan, which he tells to a classroom of people.
After the murder, things are a mess. The murder itself kinda made me laugh out loud. Kate (the sister-in-law) dropped the key to the locked bedroom with her on her exit from the window, so Michael was trapped in the bedroom. Then the caretaker wasn't where he was supposed to be. Michael drops a shoe, stops on the highway and almost gets hit, and then finds a doctor in the fog who needs a ride.
The end was a bit strange. I suppose Michael wanted to be in charge of justice for everyone around him, including himself. He liked to tell people he was sane, but I guess it's like humility. If you're telling people you're humble, you need to re-evaluate. And it doesn't matter how much you pre-plan. Murders are never going to go perfectly. This movie was middle of the road for me. I didn't hate it, but I didn't enjoy it that much either.
