A Dark, Twisted Thriller
This maybe Joan Crawford's finest performance! Jack Palance is believably a murderous man - superb performance!
Joan is Myra Hudson, a rich playwright, who rejects Lester Blaine (Jack Palance) - siting he's not right to play a leading man in her new play. Blaine deliberately meets Myra on a train and starts to romance her. Later on they fall in-love and marry. Little does Myra know that Blaine is playing her for her money and plans to kill Myra!
If you enjoy classic thrillers then you should give "Sudden Fear" a watch. Very good film noir.
The film would make a good double feature with "Straight-Jacket" or "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?".
9/10
