The Letter (1929)
Starring Jeanne Eagels, O. P. Heggie, Reginald Owen, Herbert Marshall, Lady Tsen Mei
Directed by Jean De Limur
Print: black/white
Runtime: 60 min.
Genre: Mystery
Adulteress Leslie Crosbie fires a bullet into her lover then, for good measure, five more. At trial, her plaintive testimony tilts the jury toward acquittal. Then scheming Leslie learns someone has a telltale letter she wrote to her paramour. Starring in the 1929 screen tale of Somerset Maugham's The Letter is the actress who made a name for herself as the stage's Sadie Thompson in Maugham's Rain: Jeanne Eagels. As Bette Davis did when she famously played Leslie 11 years later, Eagels earned a Best Actress Oscar(r) nomination for her volatile performance. Eagels tragically died six months after the film; today it remains the lone available talkie testament to her talent. Kim Novak played Eagels in 1957's biopic Jeanne Eagels.
The Unfaithful (1947)
Starring Ann Sheridan, Lew Ayres, Zachary Scott, Eve Arden, Jerome Cowan
Directed by Vincent Sherman
Print: Black & White
Runtime:109 min.
Genre: Drama
The wages of sin are deceit, heartbreak and possibly murder in The Unfaithful, a thriller about a wife who has an affair while her
GI husband is off fighting in the Pacific. Then, after the war and happily reunited with her husband, she stabs the castoff lover in what may or may not be a case of self-defense.
Ann Sheridan gives one of her finest performances - variously calculating, terrified and remorseful - as a woman desperate to keep her past a secret and her marriage whole. As her attorney, Lew Ayres turns the film's courtroom scenes into riveting drama. Is the wife a good woman who made a single mistake? Or is she a cold-hearted seductress capable of murder? The Unfaithful lets you decide.
