Were the sister’s talking about the movie, the woman attacked, and the police couldn’t blame her, as people who talk at the movies deserve to be attacked?

was the woman an employee of the theater?

This is driving me crazy… :smiley:

Are the three women characters in a movie?

is this a well-known story?

The woman was at the movies, the sisters were in the movies?
