Lady Of Vengeance (1957)

When his petty young ward (Eileen Elton) throws herself in front of a London bound train, an arrogant international publishing magnate (Dennis O'Keefe) sets out to discover exactly what - or who - drove the young woman to kill herself. Directed by Burt Balaban (STRANGER FROM VENUS). I'm somewhat taken aback at the negative reviews this low budget B movie received when first released. Certainly not a major film or a particularly good one but I still found it fairly compelling and its surprise "twist" at the end did take me by surprise. However, this being a 1957 film, fifties morality didn't allow its act of revenge to come to fruition and instead lets "fate" take its course. With Anton Diffring, Ann Sears, Patrick Barr and Vernon Greeves.
