‘A House on Fire’ Preview
A House on Fire is inspired by true events. It stars Stephanie March as a doctor who leads two very different lives, one public and one private. The Lifetime description reads:
A House on Fire follows brilliant doctor and mother Deborah Green (Stephanie March) who had the epitome of a picture-perfect life with two children, an adoring husband (Shaun Benson) and a beautiful house in an opulent neighborhood. But behind the curtain is a rocky marriage that includes Deb’s difficult bedside manner, her inability to get along with other doctors and an abuse of pills and alcohol, major envy of her husband’s successful medical career and his easy social manner, that takes a terrible turn and leaves her family and marriage in ruin.
This is the latest of five films based on the true crime novels of Ann Rule. A House on Fire is based on Rule’s 1997 book “Bitter Harvest.” In the book, “probes the case of Debora Green, a doctor and a loving mother who seemed to epitomize the dreams of the American heartland. A small-town girl with a genius IQ, she achieved an enviable life: her own medical practice, a handsome physician husband, three perfect children, and an opulent home in an exclusive Kansas City suburb.
“But when a raging fire destroyed that home and took two lives, the trail of clues led investigators to a stunning conclusion. Piece by piece, Ann Rule digs beneath this placid Midwestern facade to unveil a disturbing portrait of strangely troubled marriages, infidelity, desperation, suicide, and escalating acts of revenge that forever changed dozens of lives,” according to the publisher’s description.
Immediately following the premiere of A House on Fire comes Beyond The Headlines: Mental Health Myths and Misconceptions documentary, which “takes a deeper look into the issues of mental health and awareness that arise out of the film,” according to the Lifetime press release.
A House on Fire premieres Saturday, March 13 at 8 p.m. ET/PT followed by the premiere of Beyond The Headlines: Mental Health Myths and Misconceptions at 10 p.m. ET/PT, both on Lifetime.
