Edith (Olivia Colman) confronts Rose (Jessie Buckley) showing her a letter in Wicked Little Letters
Summary Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley’s dark comedy Wicked Little Letters is based on an unbelievable true story that played out how it plays out in the film. The movie opens in 1920 as devoted Christian and proud spinster Edith Swan, played by Colman, receives the latest in a long line of profane hate mail in the post.
Historian Emily Cockayne has written two books about the Littlehampton letters: Cheek by Jowl: A History of Neighbours and Penning Poison: A History of Anonymous Letters . Rose Gooding's Arrest & Prison Sentences Explained Rose was found guilty of libel and spent a total of six months in prison The case of the Littlehampton letters resulted in four court cases and three prison sentences. After Rose moved in next door to Edith in 1918, the two became good friends. Edith gave Rose a recipe for chutney and a knitting pattern for socks, while Rose gave Edith a tin bath.
Gladys was sent by Scotland Yard’s Inspector George Nicholls to watch Edith’s house from a nearby shed, where she witnessed Edith dropping off an obscene note at neighbor Violet May’s house. Edith was put on trial in 1921, but the judge couldn’t believe Edith would use such foul language, so she got off scot-free. In 1923, to compile more evidence against Edith, the police marked a set of postage stamps with special invisible ink and told the post office to sell them to Edith.
