50KEine Witwe mordet leise: Directed by Lee H. Katzin, Bernard Girard. With Geraldine Page, Ruth Gordon, Rosemary Forsyth, Robert Fuller. An aging widow hides a deadly secret which she will do anything to keep buried.
“The original ads for this movie read, u0026quot;Whatever Happened to Aunt Alice? was more terrifying than what happened to Baby Janeu0026quot;, and to my way of thinking, they werenu0026#39;t far off. The brilliant Geraldine Page heads the cast of this ultra-stylish shocker as Mrs. Marrable, a not-so grieving widow whose husband left her only a stamp album. Unable(and unwilling) to cope with poverty, Mrs. Marrable solves the problem of living up to her station by inviting a succession of women into her home to work as housekeepers, and later murders them for their private incomes. Mrs. Marrableu0026#39;s plan works quite well until she makes the mistake of eliminating Miss Tinsley(Mildred Dunnock) whose suspicious friend, Mrs. Dimmock(the delightful Ruth Gordon), promptly arrives at the Marrable residence to apply for a position as the next housekeeper and potential victim. Itu0026#39;s a spine-tingling tale of suspense with some dark humor and unforgettable performances by Page and Gordon. Highly recommended!”
