The Twilight Zone: Jess-Belle (1963)
Don't Stop At Granny Hart's!
One of the best Twilight Zone Episodes ever, and several special effects that were especially frightening at the time, considering how difficult it was to produce this episode. Not to miss. Anne Francis, James Best, Laura Devon, Virginia Gregg, and Jennifer Nolan rattled everything they could out of Earl Hamner's script. Nolan's Granny Hart may have held some aspects of her earlier Lady Macbeth portrayal.
Five Gates to Hell (1959)
Women on the Warpath
I haven't seen this film since the early seventies, and I can remember it being a shocker to my teenage sensibilities. ( I think I had just been allowed to wear white lipstick, shades of Yardley!) But it held my attention, and I can remember seeing Nancy Culp (Yikes, Miss Jane, what are you doing with a grenade?) in a role 180 degrees from the office of the Commerce Bank and Mr. Drysdale. I remember the role of the nun being virtuous, but stoic in the face of war, and that Neville Brand was riveting as the main character.
I wish this were available on DVD. The writing and the story were gripping, and Clavell never disappoints...
