Viewing Notes

Would like to read a book about Hedy Lamarr. She’s the best thing here, of course. Supporting actors include the Wicked Witch from WoOz and Mrs. Howell from Gilligan’s Island. I do like that Hedy is cast as a strong woman that’s still vulnerable by her own insecurities who just happens to witness a murder.

From the “Diva Pack” dvd set I got from the library. PQ is about the same as the last film viewed (Lady of Burlesque). Looks like a VHS tape ported and compressed for DVD.
