This Was A Woman (1948)

London housewife Sylvia Russell (Sonia Dresdel) seemed like she should have been happy with a comfortable home and two well-adjusted grown kids. Unfortunately, she was a controlling sociopath whose cruelties spiraled upward as she connived to ruin the marriage of her daughter (Barbara White), and to poison her indulgent husband (Walter Fitzgerald) to make room for a lover. Noirish drama adapted from a Joan Morgan play co-stars Emrys Jones, Scott Forbes, Cyril Richmond. 102 min. BW/Rtg: NR

The Living Idol (1957)

Young Juanita (Liliane Montevecchi) was understandably stricken after her archeologist father died during the excavation of a Mayan temple. His eccentric colleague (James Robertson Justice), though, thought it was no coincidence...and believed she was the needed sacrifice to appease an angry jaguar god. Stylish shocker, the final film from Albert Lewin, co-stars Steve Forrest, Sara Garcia, Eduardo Noriega. 100 min. C/Rtg: NR
