The Devil and Miss Sarah

This is a made for tv movie from the 70's.  It's about a sheriff who escorts an evil man across the desert with his wife.  The evil man plays with the wife the whole movie and she eventually gives in. It's an ok movie.  There was a better western horror movie from the 70's called Black Noon but I haven't seen that in years.  You can find this on modcinema.

Term of Trial

Sarah Miles, a student of Laurence Olivier gets turned down by him so she goes to the police.  Sarah Miles and Laurence Olivier do a good job.  I've never heard of Sarah Miles.  I need to watch Ryan's Daughter some time to find out more about her.  She does a good job.  The last scene with Laurence's wife Simone Signoret is interesting.  It's not what I expected.  The wife is unpredictable.

The Squall

Myrna Loy plays a gypsy vamp who destroys every relationship in the household.  The men can't resist her.  Myrna Loy is an excellent actress but not in this movie.  She overdoes it.  Loretta Young plays the innocent girl and she's the prettiest I've ever since her on screen.  This movie is a bit campy.  It's ok.

High Cost of Loving

Jose Ferrer directed and starred in this movie about a man who is afraid he is going to lose his job.  Also his wife of nine years is pregnant so he's pretty stressed out.  It says in the credits introducing Gena Rowlands.  She's ok in this but got better in her career.  She's beautiful in this movie.  Also there was an Alfred Hitchcock presents episode that she was in in season 6 where Gena was young.  I watched this movie because I like Gena in the John Cassavetes movies.  This movie's ok.
