(1935, Upgraded 10/29/21) Tod Slaughter, Sophie Stewart, D.J. Williams, Eric Portman, Clare Greet. Our print features the original British "Maria Martin" opening titles. This film features Tod at his lecherous best. It's the ultimate story of a sweet, innocent girl gone bad. Her naiveté leads her into Tod's evil clutches which in turn lead her to death's doorstep. Of course her poor gypsy boyfriend gets the blame. The actual murder scene in the barn is a bit on the macabre side and very memorable. Tod's maniacal ravings are always a treat. From a sparkling 35mm print.
