Aside from the glitter and sweep, it has more similarities to than differences from “Gone With the Wind.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis may be Hedy Lamarr’s most challenging role, and she acquits herself quite well. George Sanders appears infrequently as a sympathetic character, but even he is victimized by the Scarlett O’Hara-like wiles of Hedy. That both of these performers have accents that are not suggestive of born-and-bred Maine residents should not constitute more than a minor annoyance. The picture has more than enough offsetting merits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnusual femme fatale film\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text show-more__control\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHedy Lamarr once said that the key to appearing beautiful is ‘to stand still and look stupid’, but here she proves she could act when required to. As the daughter of a drunk, Jenny has ambitions to rise in the world and become beautiful, using her wiles to subdue and bewitch men into doing her bidding. With a rich and older husband with a weak and easily led son, you can see where this is going, and with people like George Sanders and Louis Hayward supporting her in the cast, Hedy shines in the title role.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA beautifully shot, tightly written film which may have been low budget but has a definite sheen of polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"FilmClassicsonDVD","offers":[{"title":"DOWNLOAD","offer_id":51498612359455,"sku":"strwo-2","price":10.94,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"DVD","offer_id":51498612392223,"sku":"strwo-1","price":12.94,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0944\/0788\/5087\/files\/The-Strange-Woman-rareandcollectibledvds-581.jpg?v=1767262949","url":"https:\/\/filmclassicsondvd.com\/products\/the-strange-woman","provider":"FilmClassicsonDVD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
