The Girl in Black Stockings
(1957)
Anne's Niche: Actress
Character: Beth Dixon
Cast and Crew
My Too Cents: This movie is great. It's an old murder mystery. Very interesting and Anne
does a supurb job as a closet psycho. It's not the best overall movie, but it is a must see if you can. It
has never been released but copies can be found floating around eBay here and there.
Synopsis:
___
A non-western set in the West which anticipated the plot of Alfred Hitchcock's
classic PSYCHO (1960) by three years. Requiring a rest from the rigors of legal
work, a young lawyer (Barker) goes to stay at a Utah lodge. He soon becomes
friendly with lodge employee Bancroft, despite the distractions of the
voluptuous Van Doren, a fellow guest, and Windsor, sister of the crippled
proprietor, Randell. A series of mutilation murders of young women occurs,
and everybody is suspect in the eyes of sheriff Dehner. Barker identifies
Bancroft as the culprit. She turns out to be psychotic, and got rid of the
women to ensure that she is the only attractive female remaining in the picture.
