I have this memory of catching a part of a random movie on TV in the mid-90s when I wouldâve been around 6 or 7
The scene centers on A Guy, who gets up from a living room/den where he had been with another individual (perhaps his elderly wife, perhaps another old person who was in his care), and he goes into the kitchen, and (I think) begins mixing up pills or powder or something into orange juice to poison the other person with, before a 3rd individual enters and confronts him about it
I vividly remember:
the kitchen being a completely separate room from the living room, this wasnât a sitcom set or an apartment where the characters would have remained in view of each other between the living room/kitchen. The kitchen had either glass windows or wooden shutters separating it from the room/hallway he had entered from
textured glass and pale yellow light, either the glasses he was mixing the drink in, or some other fixture in the kitchen, but the whole scene was pretty dimly lit
I was too young to understand anything going on, but the scene started to get very tense, like he was frantically trying to mix up this concoction, and Iâm pretty sure the 3rd individual who confronted him was a woman, and she kind of âcorneredâ him since his back was to the kitchen door when she appeared
Any leads appreciated - thanks!
Edit: itâs possible that poison wasnât involved at all, and I was too young to understand the idea of alcohol or painkillers, etc - so my 6-7 year old brain just figured any illicit-seeming substance would have been âpoisonâ
Whether The Guy was stealing away to the kitchen to frantically make a drink for himself or mix something up for someone else, whatever it was, it was the main source of tension / he was trying to get away with something, before he was confronted
But the entire scene was very dark/claustrophobic and took place within the confines of this kitchen, which had its own interior window/wooden shutters/wooden screen/partition that the character had to enter into. Close-up shots of the glass and the drink which I recall being orange/yellow like orange juice, or maybe the kitchen had textured / frosted windows as well
I would have been watching this on TV around 1995 or 1996
