I am 74 and have loved the silver screen actors and actresses since I was young. Timeless, classic movies, and Hedy Lamar was so talented and beautiful. I have seen this one before, but I watched it again. I never tire of these movies. Thank you for bringing them to us, so many of the older ones have been lost to time and went to dust in the film canisters. 👍Still Subscribed.
@carolyng5044 I wish I lived back then. People had respect for each other. They just don’t make films like this. It’s all I watch because I can’t watch the garbage they put out today. How was it seeing them on the silver screen? God bless you 🤍🕊️
I'm 74. I've never been interested in these old black and white movies, up until 4 months ago when one popped up on my phone. Now i can't stop binging and can't stop collecting..Theres nothing wrong with this movie. The lady is up herself and loves money...DON'T WE ALL😅😅TY for uploading...
Wow, what a fantastic movie. Now that is what I call super good writing. The writer was not only fantastic, but also very wise. One could learn life lessens from watching this movie. The acting was doing this story well. Thank you so much for letting us enjoy this amazing movie.
Hey guys, when you guys feel or tell about Hedy Lamarr, she is doing her job. This is what you call GREAT acting. We don't see this type of greatness today. There's just a handful left.
Thank you, thank you, thank you 😊 I did so enjoy this movie. As a little girl,many moons ago,I would wait for the classic black and whites. I remember Elizabeth Taylor as a little girl, she was the most gorgeous child who grew to be an even more beautiful woman. These female film stars are hard to equal.
I watched this and it was so wonderful to see a movie where they got their point across with out the "f" word. I don't watch much these days because of that. This was a great movie and Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Hmm... the woman Hedy played is a conniving, greedy and used her looks to get her own way and you're upset about the f bomb??? Where are your morals if you feel the need to judge?
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.
@axeslinger94 I love your observation about the brief shot of Hedy's character gazing at her own reflection - just like the myth of Narcissus. Brilliant, and I had not caught that. (Thank you for posting this!)
Hedy Lamar was referenced as the most beautiful woman in Hollywood. She began her career in Europe where she appeared nude on screen. She was also very bright and invented equipment for use by the Allies in WW II. Love Hedy!!
Thank you for posting this, I almost didn't watch it because of the title, Hedddy Lemarr and George Saunders were difficult to overlook, happy I watched it. Excellent acting, good storyline, outstanding actors and to top it all, no special effects and heavy breathing.Thank you
This was a very good movie. I couldn't help but imagine Hedy Lamarr as Rebecca. There were so many scenes that I had imagined what Rebecca would have looked like and to see the beauty of Lamar and the dynamic with George Sanders fulfilled exactly what I thought! Amazing and uncanny.
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. .
Hedy Lamarr never gave a bad performance. Stunning beauty and genius intelligence (and those are her true traits, not rolls she played for the screen), she could never be a wallflower. This movie is also one of my favorites of hers.Thanks for sharing!
That Jenny was so evil! You know she wouldn't come out of this unscathed. There had to be comeuppance. Great film. Hedy was so mesmerizing & beautiful. What a woman.
I've never seen such a stunning, beautiful actress on screen. But, she actually gave me chills, even though this was not a horror flick (magnificent acting). You go girl!
The book has so much more that was left out of this film. A shipwreck and people freezing. A man named Elder Pittridge that she made love her, and 4 sons Tom, Mat, Will and Dan through adulthood. Her beauty faded and she became bitter and evil. Then the boys joined both sides of the civil war.
Radar was one of her biggest inventions save probably millions of lives back then and she still is saving lives because of her invention of the radar system
They really wanted to make Hedy look like Vivian Leigh. That costume and hair from her first scene is right out of GWTW. This should not be interpreted as disapproval. She's lovely.
Yes, he is. He also did fine work directing Detour and The Cat People. He was a master at creating wonderful, evocative films, with a shoestring budget.
That is well-marked at the beginning of the film when her father throws the whisky jug into the river, breaking up the reflected image of young Jenny, and utters dejectedly: "Empty!"
@@SetmoseHaven't seen the film yet but what you say about him throwing the empty whisky jug into the river rather suggests her father was a drunk...which would have had it's consequences. 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.
There is a line in this movie spoken by Hedy after she is told that her husband died and she denied Ephriam to enter the house..."You can't come into this house, You wretched coward...You've killed your father.."...I thought she said it just right for such a line to be uttered, where if spoken wrong, it would have ruined the scene.
Excellent, excellent movie. I know it may sound as a broken record but, Hollywood do not make movies nowadays as they did decades ago plus the storyline fits perfectly with real life individuals today. 👍🏼
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.
I just started watching the movie....at around 6 minutes, when Jenny grows up and stands up around the river, I swear she looked exactly like my idol, Vivien Leigh in, especially in Gone With the Wind. Uncanny.
I just realized that Hedy died in quite a few of her movies. She died in Lady of the Tropics, White Cargo, Samson and Delilah and this movie.I think she was a very good actress whose beauty overshadowed her talent.
+Wendy Arrington lol that's why I know to be very careful when reading the comments of movies. There are always going to be some spoiler alerts. Not a big deal though, just don't read the comments before watching the movie if you're too concerned about it. :)
Right! They could pass for sisters--well incredibly beautiful sisters. Dont think they ever appeared in a movie together. Oh well both turned in incredible performances.
A treat for fans of the Scarlet O'Hara character type. The story of an insatiable individual and how evil eventually consumes itself. Rather predictable, yet like a wreck, one can't look away.
Yes... So wrong people let demons in. Lucifer ruins their lives. Only GOD can protect us. JESUS cried aloud, "It is Finished" Giving all of us victory over all sins.
Wow, I must say Hedy Lamarr was irresistible. One of the most stunning women God ever made. Her accent is charming, her eyes are mesmerizing. No wonder Samson couldn't resist her!
Lol. Yes she is by far, the prettiest of the prettiest. And she wasn't empty headed either. I was so very surprised at her intelligence. She didn't just ride on her beauty. She used all her talents very well. ✌
She was beautiful, about sanson it's was only a movie!!! Hollywood And most of the people as soon they see a fresh young beautiful lady they forget about the old ones, that's life
I too have just discovered this gem. After living in a very rural part of Maine, yet we traveled to Bangor for shopping and supplies this movie captured the essence of how and why Old Bangor operated in that era. Great movie and excellent actors.
Haven't seen the film yet but from your description I think the scene is probably there to indicate that she has suppressed her emotions as a means to not feel pain.
It is very interesting to see that the whole plot is around "the treacherous Eve" while "the Adam" is naive when he tries everything to get the woman who he feels about, from his son and others helping him to do so but the woman is responsible.
Seems like there’s 3 types of men: those that lie ( their own purpose), ones marry 4 convenience, and very few marry for true & faithful love& devotion - very rare.
The term "strange woman" came up during the last church meeting she attended in the movie. Some interpret "strange woman" in this bible reference as meaning a seductive woman. She certainly was that.
A prolific actress in her time making many movies. Excellent and sought after for her blindingly obvious Talent. What a terrible and tragic end Jo-Ann Marlowe who played Jenny as a child had in real life. Retired from acting and became a prominent trial lawyer. In the late sixties had a horrific car accident which left her in a coma for the next 22 years.
QueenVelveeta I believe your mom looked like Lamar!!! My Granny looked like Ava Gardner! In fact, even more beautiful than Ava. We need to stick together!
Robert Mccrimon You’re obviously not from a beautiful family. Her mom looking like Hedy... I believe her. Pull your head out! There are a lot of beautiful women out in 5he world that are as(or even more) gorgeous than the stars on the screen!
I hope most people aren't foolish enough to believe that any happiness could be founded upon someone else's misery. You're only making your own personal hell that way. Better to be as good a person as you know how to he, and let the chips fall where they may.
Denise May Yes and you know what?? Women who marry for money (and in their heart they KNOW they are, even if they can fool others) pay a big price in the end. I have seen it happen.
When I was in my twenties someone told me I looked like Hedy Lamarr - so I have to watch this and see if I agree. I am now 60, but I was pretty hot in my 20’s!
Hedy was eye candy, her acting abilities were limited for the most part, but she was a world known beauty and a star without question, this is one of her most memorable acting jobs, there's a certain range to her emotions which often didn't registered in her performances.
She was far more than eye candy. To carry off this role was masterful. No trick photography, no profanity, just pure, chaste acting ability. Actors are complex because of the profound emotions that comprise their beings. To read a script and bring a character who evokes strong emotions is no easy feat.
I thought she did a great job. She’s playing a role of a woman who’s playing many roles. And she did it very subtly with looks, her eyes, different vocal changes, how she showed Mr. Poster her shoulder, etc. It was a brilliant performance.
TonycrowYT - please calm down, you seem to have spent more time yelling at ppl in comments than watching the movie. Movies send the wrong message all the time. if you don't like the message then dont watch it. I don't watch violent movies or ones that make great light of immoral sexual behavior. I wouldn't watch then yell at others for whatever they like in a movie. relax.
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...
+Thomas Goldfinch (Damn Sam and Samantha, I wish that TH-cam would finally correct the glitch that all too often prevents a full comment from being posted herein! What follows is the rest of my seemingly incomplete comment from moments before): ...performances as well. What a great way to usher in The New Year 2016 than to finally see this now 70-year-old but timeless film on the evening of January 1, 2016!
Jenny was deplorable, but what about her first husband? Lusting after his son's girlfriend then sending his son away so he couldn't marry her because he wanted her. Telling Jenny's dad she had a boyfriend knowing he'd fly into a rage, then fixing it so that he could marry her, making it look like it was for her own good. Disgusting man!
Hedy lamar, I believe, was the most beautiful of all the stars in Hollywood. Every time I see a movie with George Sanders, I can't stop thinking about the fact he committed suicide because he was bored. Such a tragic waste.
This movie reminds me so much of Gone with the Wind. Oh what tangled webs we weave when we practice to deceive. But those guys just keep on wanting them beautiful women that has their nails that extends out sometimes when they shouldn't LOL.
A new meaning to fem fatale, whole different category, what a wonderful actress. She also gives a new meaning to "opportunism, " plotting, scheming, etc. Oedipal with a twist.
Yes, children do adapt to survive and may also adapt, and it’s not as if she was born out of a vacuum, good point. If the woman was a man, would you defend him as probably having been conditioned to be a heel from his mother ? I doubt it, and that’s the difference in how aggression is viewed between the sexes.
Ben Ames Williams seems to have specialized in female psychopaths. He also wrote the novel Leave Her to Heaven, which was adapted into a film noir. This is a historical drama set in early 19th century Maine.
I agree. A bit less airplay for Showboat, To Have and Have Not, Grand Hotel, et al and more deep cuts, like this one. I like those other films, but too much repetition. I'll keep my cable and tcm, with hopes of more variety. This goes for the foreign ones too, in terms of needing to mix them up a bit.
Why is there always comments on these films that are like "Things were better in the olddy days! movies today suck!" But if you watch enough old movies you realize LOTS OF OLD MOVIES SUCK TOO.
Hedy was having dinner and on a napkin she drew the components that became the GPS system for torpedoes for WW2.And the same that are used in our cell phones today.Beauty and brains.
Raven hair and ruby lips, Sparks fly from her finger tips, Echoed voices in the night, Shes a restless spirit on a endless flight... The character Jenny in this movie was described in the song Witchy Woman to a tee. Good Movie!!!
@@HansDunkelberg1 Do you really want to say 'spoiled' though? I disagree, the quote is sound and apt enough, despite the misuse of the artcle. Which, given this format, could've been a typo. Either way, I feel it to be incidental to the context. Cheers.
All this praise of Hedy Lamar is well deserved, but Gene Lockhart's performance is equally good. You can read his sleazebag mind and that is really some quality acting.

As usual, fantastic acting in these older films.
What is produced today would never measure up to this level.

Good film ...✌️💖🥂
I found this book at a library sale and thought wow, this was way ahead of its time writing. And then I find the movie. Crazy good.

Totally agree! If it’s not black and white I don’t even have any interest in watching it!😁
Wow! A highly developed narcissistic sociopath! Incredible writing! Great acting by all concerned!
Hedy Lamar was an excellent actress. Not only beautiful she was also very smart💜💫

I remember Elizabeth Taylor as a little girl, she was the most gorgeous child who grew to be an even more beautiful woman. These female film stars are hard to equal.
Omg! The lead actress in this movie, Hedy Lamar, invented the precursor for modern day wifi! Wow!
She was beautiful AND intelligent.
A rare species!
Club Disney 1990-2027 ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
That’s Ingrid Bergman not Heddy Lamar.
It’s INGRID BERGMAN.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Hmm... the woman Hedy played is a conniving, greedy and used her looks to get her own way and you're upset about the f bomb??? Where are your morals if you feel the need to judge?

Her name probably short for Hedwig? A very old fashioned name, shortened for her acting career
This was a very good movie. I couldn't help but imagine Hedy Lamarr as Rebecca. There were so many scenes that I had imagined what Rebecca would have looked like and to see the beauty of Lamar and the dynamic with George Sanders fulfilled exactly what I thought! Amazing and uncanny.
hadn'tt thought of that. but now rebecca will always be Hedy!
Rebecca was supposed to be plain.
She was the same age as Vivien Leigh, so if she could have handled a Southern accent, she would have been even more beautiful as Scarlet.
@@rogerpropes7129 Scarlett wasn't supposed to be beautiful.
Hedy was a extremely intelligent woman and one of the most beautiful woman of Hollywood. Read her bio what she contributed to our country.
But yet she chose to waste it pretending to be storybook characters. Not very intelligent.
The devise I’m watching this movie on.
@@rainysunday6186 nothing better to do, ‘eh? Smdh, trolls should be banned from youtube!
Let's see...invented radio frequency hopping, which helped win ww2, and led to wifi, GPS, Bluetooth etc. Not bad for a "wasted talent".
Yeah everyone knows that🙄
I wasn't even born when this was released but man oh man is this message for me!!!
Ok Hedy was already on her eyebrow and smoky eye game....perfection!
There are far more such psychopaths in this world than we dare to admit.

I guess I'm going to have to read it!

I love Hedy Lamarr. She was a good actress and SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! This is a good movie and is one of my favorite Hedy movies.
She was also brilliant, and a technological inventor ahead of her time to boot!

Radar was one of her biggest inventions save probably millions of lives back then and she still is saving lives because of her invention of the radar system

This is utter nonsense.
Do some research. It is easy now that the internet has been invented by Hedy Lamarr.

Narcissism. That's why they started with the water scene.
True! And the age change scene! When she ran back to the water to see her image!
(I know that's not a complete sentence---- it's late!
Astute observation.
You're right. She was a narcissist from the beginning through the end and it destroyed her.
A story about a true sociopath, from birth till death. They are born with something missing, a soul.
That is well-marked at the beginning of the film when her father throws the whisky jug into the river, breaking up the reflected image of young Jenny, and utters dejectedly: "Empty!"

I too have just discovered this gem. After living in a very rural part of Maine, yet we traveled to Bangor for shopping and supplies this movie captured the essence of how and why Old Bangor operated in that era. Great movie and excellent actors.
After leaving MGM her contract, this was the first film Hedy produced herself with her newly founded production company.
She wasn't getting off on her father beating her. She was being defiant and showing her father his beatings no longer affected her. SMH!!
Haven't seen the film yet but from your description I think the scene is probably there to indicate that she has suppressed her emotions as a means to not feel pain.

I love George Sanders and Hedy Lamar together! What a great film!
Trying to drown some young boy does not endear us to her at all - this happened to me and l am still terrified of water at 50
" I wanted to hurt you , I wanted to hurt you ...I loved you so much..."
truly a great last rant from the criminally insane
Its truth... Not insane
😂🤣😂😂 Yes! I've had Those Relationships. SICK BASTARDS!
Terrific film. Thank you so much for uploading it!
This movie was unbelievable - edge of my seat the entire time lol 😂
Stunning,a great cast, good writing and drection. The two femaile were stunning just stunning.
.
Hedy Lamarr: brilliant and talented. During WWII she designed a jam-proof radio guidance system for torpedoes. Not bad for a hollywood star.
not bad at all!
With composer George Anthiel.
She also had investments in wireless technology (for phones) back in the 1930's that didn't come to fruition. She was a smart woman.
Doug Jenkinson one of the big phone companies bought the rights to her invention, she made a bundle and was rich again
Michele Rees She was arrested for shoplifting as an elderly woman twice, I believe. I think she was broke.
Seems like there’s 3 types of men: those that lie ( their own purpose), ones marry 4 convenience, and very few marry for true & faithful love& devotion - very rare.
Very true
And I suppose women are completely virtuous huh
I Am Rare then.
Bull.
Godly
THANK YOU, LOVED THE MOVIE. WILL WATCH AGAIN WITH FRIENDS!!
The term "strange woman" came up during the last church meeting she attended in the movie. Some interpret "strange woman" in this bible reference as meaning a seductive woman. She certainly was that.
perfect movie on traits narcassist personality explained out of biopsychosocial model, may be.
A prolific actress in her time making many movies. Excellent and sought after for her blindingly obvious Talent. What a terrible and tragic end Jo-Ann Marlowe who played Jenny as a child had in real life. Retired from acting and became a prominent trial lawyer. In the late sixties had a horrific car accident which left her in a coma for the next 22 years.
Best line of the movie : "Oh , Jenny" !! I love this film.
Some of the women were stunningly beautiful.
When my mother was a teenager, her favorite actress was Hedy Lamar. Also, my mother looked like Hedy Lamar.
QueenVelveeta I believe your mom looked like Lamar!!! My Granny looked like Ava Gardner! In fact, even more beautiful than Ava. We need to stick together!
Robert Mccrimon You’re obviously not from a beautiful family. Her mom looking like Hedy... I believe her. Pull your head out! There are a lot of beautiful women out in 5he world that are as(or even more) gorgeous than the stars on the screen!
@@robertmccrimon6891 My father looked like Elvis Presley my mom looked like this lady .There are beautiful family's I believe her .I'm one luck lady .
I look like the Frankenstein monster but it never made me any money dammit man I hate it when that happens
@@KDL861 same as my mum
I wish I had seen this before getting married. It may have saved me from disaster.
Michael Post Me Too!!
My brother would say AMEN brother
😆😆😆😆😆😘😘😘😘😘😘😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful women do Satan's work.
Her character is a Narcissist Personality Disorder.
Can't watch the ploys.
I hope most people aren't foolish enough to believe that any happiness could be founded upon someone else's misery. You're only making your own personal hell that way. Better to be as good a person as you know how to he, and let the chips fall where they may.
Denise May Yes and you know what?? Women who marry for money (and in their heart they KNOW they are, even if they can fool others) pay a big price in the end. I have seen it happen.
Jenny made Scarlet O’Hara look like Mary Poppins! What a great movie!
🤣😅😆😃😊😜
Mary Poppins!
Ahahaha !
When I was in my twenties someone told me I looked like Hedy Lamarr - so I have to watch this and see if I agree. I am now 60, but I was pretty hot in my 20’s!
my husband told me i looked like hedy also its my hair ,long ,thick and dark 36 years ago
Doris Brinkerhoff ☺️
Pretty conceited now huh?
Who cares?
🙇🏻♀️🕊
Thank you TCM for your wonderful channel.
Enjoyed every bit! Hedy Lamarr is magical!
Very interesting period piece I’ve never seen. In fact one of the few I’ve seen with Hedy. She was a very good actress. Thanks for showing this to us.
Hedy was eye candy, her acting abilities were limited for the most part, but she was a world known beauty and a star without question, this is one of her most memorable acting jobs, there's a certain range to her emotions which often didn't registered in her performances.
She was far more than eye candy. To carry off this role was masterful. No trick photography, no profanity, just pure, chaste acting ability. Actors are complex because of the profound emotions that comprise their beings. To read a script and bring a character who evokes strong emotions is no easy feat.
To be fair, with the type of film and cameras they had then a great deal did not register or was not apparent.
I thought she did a great job. She’s playing a role of a woman who’s playing many roles. And she did it very subtly with looks, her eyes, different vocal changes, how she showed Mr. Poster her shoulder, etc. It was a brilliant performance.
She was also smart as a whip, she developed the precursor to WiFi during WWII.
@@cocoaorange1 yes, also the precursor of the cell phone. Amazing woman.
TonycrowYT - please calm down, you seem to have spent more time yelling at ppl in comments than watching the movie. Movies send the wrong message all the time. if you don't like the message then dont watch it. I don't watch violent movies or ones that make great light of immoral sexual behavior. I wouldn't watch then yell at others for whatever they like in a movie. relax.
Blah Blah
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...
+Thomas Goldfinch (Damn Sam and Samantha, I wish that TH-cam would finally correct the glitch that all too often prevents a full comment from being posted herein! What follows is the rest of my seemingly incomplete comment from moments before): ...performances as well. What a great way to usher in The New Year 2016 than to finally see this now 70-year-old but timeless film on the evening of January 1, 2016!
+Thomas Goldfinch she looks just like Viven Leigh

@@angelacoleman8192 No, she does not. She's even more beautiful than Vivian.
@@TommyChardonneret Great comment, well said. And I agree 100%.
"Don't worry about me. I can handle trouble..."
Jenny was deplorable, but what about her first husband? Lusting after his son's girlfriend then sending his son away so he couldn't marry her because he wanted her. Telling Jenny's dad she had a boyfriend knowing he'd fly into a rage, then fixing it so that he could marry her, making it look like it was for her own good. Disgusting man!
Agreed.
Yes, He probably wasn't the first pig in her life. Her dad was the town drunk.
Loggers....
firefly198 “pizza gate@🤭
Women hadn't many choices back then!!
She was a smart woman . Men could do what they wanted. Women could not..
DAMN! That was a wild ride. Thank you so much for sharing it with us♡
Hedy lamar, I believe, was the most beautiful of all the stars in Hollywood. Every time I see a movie with George Sanders, I can't stop thinking about the fact he committed suicide because he was bored. Such a tragic waste.
😮 OMG I never heard that.
And if HE was That Crazy .....
Actually, he only wrote that in his note~ he was suffering stage 4 cancer.
This movie reminds me so much of Gone with the Wind. Oh what tangled webs we weave when we practice to deceive. But those guys just keep on wanting them beautiful women that has their nails that extends out sometimes when they shouldn't LOL.
A new meaning to fem fatale, whole different category, what a wonderful actress. She also gives a new meaning to "opportunism, " plotting, scheming, etc. Oedipal with a twist.
Yes, children do adapt to survive and may also adapt, and it’s not as if she was born out of a vacuum, good point. If the woman was a man, would you defend him as probably having been conditioned to be a heel from his mother ? I doubt it, and that’s the difference in how aggression is viewed between the sexes.
@@brucekugler5164 interesting point, Well said. Even still though how could you blame such a beautiful woman. Clearly she had have been corrupted. :)
AI COULD NEVER CREATE ANYTHING THIS GOOD!!!!!!!
Ben Ames Williams seems to have specialized in female psychopaths. He also wrote the novel Leave Her to Heaven, which was adapted into a film noir. This is a historical drama set in early 19th century Maine.
Leave Her to Heaven has that REALLY shocking scene that knocks me volder than any modern mass bloodbath dystopian nerve-wracker!
Great classic 👌
Only comment where I learned anything here I didn’t know
Thank you 😊 for bringing us this beautiful show
Wonderful to see great actresses and actors beauties too well spoken and charming and black n white so different to the crudeness of today !!!!
The best channel ever
Pls more movies for Hedy lamarr
Jenny made Scarlett look like an amateur. Darn Good Movie.
She is wonderful and lovely 🥰nowadays you can not find such a great actress anymore..
Good movie! I wish TCM would play some of these. Instead of the same old,,,, same old〽️📽
I agree 100%
Robert Mccrimon Right?
Mary Cope
I agree. A bit less airplay for Showboat, To Have and Have Not, Grand Hotel, et al and more deep cuts, like this one. I like those other films, but too much repetition. I'll keep my cable and tcm, with hopes of more variety. This goes for the foreign ones too, in terms of needing to mix them up a bit.
@Glen M ditto kiddo.
Why is there always comments on these films that are like "Things were better in the olddy days! movies today suck!" But if you watch enough old movies you realize LOTS OF OLD MOVIES SUCK TOO.
It's the "Emperor's New Clothes" mentality.
love these old melodramatic movies, a good watch
I loved this movie. There is good and bad in us all.
Hedy was having dinner and on a napkin she drew the components that became the GPS system for torpedoes for WW2.And the same that are used in our cell phones today.Beauty and brains.
I forgot about that! So cool.
I love black and white films. This was a good one never seen it before. Thanks for uploading it☺
Raven hair and ruby lips, Sparks fly from her finger tips, Echoed voices in the night, Shes a restless spirit on a endless flight... The character Jenny in this movie was described in the song Witchy Woman to a tee. Good Movie!!!
You have spoiled your very interesting quotation by omitting an N, in the article before "endless flight".
@@HansDunkelberg1 Do you really want to say 'spoiled' though? I disagree, the quote is sound and apt enough, despite the misuse of the artcle. Which, given this format, could've been a typo. Either way, I feel it to be incidental to the context. Cheers.
All this praise of Hedy Lamar is well deserved, but Gene Lockhart's performance is equally good. You can read his sleazebag mind and that is really some quality acting.
