Checking this one out closely, both the script and the movie. They don't actually decide to kill the husband until pg. 51 in the script, and about the 46 minute mark in the movie. I believe this is the moment that kicks us into Act II, but that's a heck of a long time to get there.
Anyone else think that perhaps Act II starts earlier? I know this film has been discussed in screenwriting books, but I don't remember the analysis.
At any rate, if I'm right about when Act II starts, then it shows you can have a very long first act in scripts.
