It's been so long I don't have much, but here goes. Mother has three annoying daughters, then dies, and the condition of her will is that they all show they can stay in the same house for 30 days, despite their bickering and backstabbing. In the course of things, a trunk is found and one of the daughters turns out to be adopted, freaks and runs out. The other two seek her out, and not only was this the right thing to do, secret test-wise, but the adoption wasn't real, either, though the sister who freaked wasn't in on it. A tape from the mother barely apologizes for this, saying it was payback for what the girls put her through and so she deemed it necessary. I thought the mother was played by Barney Miller wife Barbara Barrie, but her IMDB listing has no movie that even could have been this.
I recall this one for the relative cruelty of the nearly-broken Aesop, mainly because the faux-adopted daughter was already known as vulnerable, and the ever-annoying excuse offered up by the in-on-it lawyer and long-time housekeeper : "I Don't Work For You. I Work/Worked For...". To which my response would be : "Good. X is dead/otherwise not here, and now you don't work for anyone."
Any help with what this film might be?
