9月18日 Poison So Pretty
I wrote this for my blog Sunset Gun but I'm such a fan of this movie and actress, I wanted to spread the love.
What movie? "Pretty Poison," finally released to DVD. The picture has never even seen a VHS release.
God I love Tuesday Weld. I love her so much it almost hurts. "Lord Love a Duck," "Wild in the Country," "The Cincinnati Kid," "Play it as it Lays," "Thief" and on and on... But my favorite Weld performance? As Sue Ann Stepanek in "Pretty Poison." Finally released on DVD, Pretty Poison is the definitive Tuesday Weld movie. Playing the beautiful but deadly high-school majorette to Anthony Perkins twitchy, creepy fire-starter, she is the deliciously deviant underbelly of America's heartland. Where blondes are supposed to be good girls but, in her case, are most definitely not.
Made in 1968 and directed by Noel Black, the picture was something of a dud upon release (too sexually disturbing? too strange?) and has achieved cult status ever since. And deservedly so. With it's violence, pitch black comedy and sexy viciousness (watch Tuesday commit murder and immediately want to have sex after) the picture is wonderfully subversive and deeply strange. And Weld...she is charming, scary, beautiful and sickly erotic. Need I explain the plot? The manipulation of Perkins (who thought he was doing the manipulating)? The killing of her mother? The crazy, beautiful, psycho intensity of Weld? No. You really should watch it for yourself. And again, Tuesday... as Tiny Tim sang, "If only Tuesday Weld would be my wife." --posted by Kim 评论 (2)
