    Towards the beginning of this film when all the children are at the local pond, they show a brief shot of Hedy's character gazing at her own reflection just like the myth of Narcissus, clearly foreshadowing the type of person she really is, a narcissist.
    The film is called "The Strange Woman" due to narcissism and the lack of empathy and moral integrity that comes along with it being exactly that -- strange. Growing up with a parent who displays the same manipulative tendencies, lack of accountability, and excuse-making is a fate I wouldn't wish on even my worst enemy.

    When I was younger (I'm now in my 60's) I used to be rather in awe of women who could manipulate men and get everything they wanted. They got the richest husbands, highest paying jobs, the fastest promotions. Even still, if I had the looks and technique I don't think I could do it out of conscience. I still see many young women like this and due to social media they are far more emboldened.

    Hedy's beauty, charm and hypnotic voice is truly irresistible. I could't resist watching this classic movie again. Beginning of story was a little obvious but the ending was most rewarding.
    At first I thought the leading lady's name was listed incorrectly because of the other famous star with a similar last name, Dorothy Lamour. Both ladies are talented dark haired beauties, born in 1914 and had very interesting lives in addition to their acting.

People are not born narcissists. Some are narcissists due to childhood trauma and some due to having been spoiled rotten. I think 'spoiled ROTTEN', describes well the damage that spoiling can do. Although the word 'spoil' is already indicative of damage.

    This brilliant script calls for a most complicated woman, and Hedy Lamarr delivers. Jenny Hager-Poster is part saint, part driven by cupidity and coldness. When she sees in others the kind of want that she suffered, she moves with alacrity to help. Yet, all mixed-up in her is the need for forbidden fruit. It all works in this well-acted, directed, and written story.

    What a great frickin film! Can't believe that I never saw this one before. Hedy Lamarr as "The Strange Woman" has all the charm and guile of Vivien Leigh in Gone with the Wind, and she was just one of the many women of her generation whose superior intelligence, especially her as the precursory genius inventor of modern day Wifi, had to be relegated to their private pursuits lest their "marketability" as "only" beautiful actors (or "actresses" as their "less than" labels once proclaimed) be undermined in the male chauvinist (and their subjugated female sympathizers) movie going public. Damn Sam (and Samantha, to boot) am I glad I've had the privilege to come across this gem of silver screen acting! And furthermore, the rest of the ensemble cast gives great...
