MADAME X DIRECTED BY DAVID LOWELL RICH In the seventh cinematic go-round for this 1909 drama, Lana Turner plays the mysterious title role. Destitute after a series of tragedies that have left her a drug-addicted prostitute living in a cheap Mexican hotel, Holly Parker is forced to kill criminal Dan Sullivan (Burgess Meredith). She discovers that his blackmail scheme involves the murder of her husband, whom she was wrongly forced to leave many years before. In a perfect twist, her assigned public defender is none other than her son, forcing her to become "Madame X" to hide her true identity. 1966, U.S., color, 16mm, 100 minutes. |
