Christine Redfern (Evil Under the Sun)

Christine Redfern (Jane Birkin) is an antagonist in the 1982 film Evil Under the Sun, based off of Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot novel. She is an accomplice to her murderous husband, Patrick Redfern, into luring rich and beautiful women into false marriage before killing them to gain their wealth.
==Summary==
Christine Redfern is the wife of Patrick Redfern, who played the role of a witness during a death of young woman, Alice Corrigan, whom her husband falsely "married" and later killed.
Turned out, Patrick (under the alias of Edward Corrigan) had plotted the event and murdered his first victim with the assistance of his wife, with Alice faking death at first to play a trick before Patrick murdered Alice for real, just in time when Christine, disguised as a school teacher, saw the "murder" and ran for the police. When the police arrived, Alice was found strangled, and Patrick earned her fortune due to their marriage.
In their plan to gain Arlena Marshall's wealth, Christine allowed her husband to have a love affair with Arlena, who was already infamous for flirting. She at first lied about her fear of heights before she went out and stayed with Linda at the beach. While Linda went swimming, Christine secretly set Linda's watch twenty minutes forward, asked the time to set her alibi, before returning the watch to the correct time.
Arriving back to her room in the hotel, Christine wore the same style of swimsuit as Arlena's and used fake suntan makeup to cover her skin, making it deeper and more like being tanned by the sun. She then threw away the bottle, which (unbeknownst to her) narrowly missed Emily Brewster who walked passed by.
Sneaking out to Pixy Cove, Christine intentionally allowed herself to be seen by Arlena, who went hiding into a cave under Patrick's instruction in case Arlena saw Christine near her when she (Arlena) was about to date him. When Arlena went on hiding, Christine posed herself on the beach and pretended to be Arlena, covering her face with a hat to be seen by Emily and Patrick.
After Emily left for help under Patrick's instruction, Christine scrambled back to the hotel to wash down her fake tan, something that concerned the hotel staff on who would take a shower at noon. At 12 p.m., Christine met Poirot and others near tennis field, while the real Arlena was already strangled to death. Much later, Christine discovered Linda's guilt over her stepmother's death, since Linda often cursed Arlena with a voodoo doll. Christine manipulated Linda's guilt and goaded her into an attempted suicide, but was saved by Poirot.
During his denouement, Poirot exposed that Christine's fear of heights was fake, as well as her involvement in Alice's death as well as Patrick's ruse. When Patrick attacked Poirot, Christine asked him to stop. She was arrested along with her husband.
