Legendary Hollywood goddess, Ava Gardner (One Touch of Venus) delivers a mesmerizing performance in director Roddy McDowall's wickedly suspenseful tale of decadent young thrill-seekers and the sinister seductress who holds them spellbound. Amid the dawn-to-dusk revelry at the fabulous country estate of wealthy and sophisticated Mrs. Cazaret (Gardner), the impulsive Tom Lynn (Ian McShane, TV's Deadwood) discovers that being the life of this party could have murderous consequences. The top-notch cast includes Stephanie Beacham (TV's The Colbys, Dynasty), Cyril Cusack (Fahrenheit 451), Richard Wattis (The Importance of Being Ernest) and Joanna Lumley (Absolutely Fabulous). Acting great Roddy McDowall's one and only directorial effort. Beautifully shot in scope by Billy Williams (Gandhi).
Critic Reviews:
- " Here [Roddy McDowall's] vision is bold and unswerving, displaying nothing in the way of fear or timidity as he knowingly upsets convention, defies criticism and rethinks the storyteller's art. " – Sam Dunn (Sight & Sound)
