A WOMAN OF EVIL (1954, aka QUEEN MARGOT) Jeanne Moreau, Armando Francioli, Robt. Porte, Françoise Rosay, Andre Versini, script by Abel Gance. This Euro-thriller is filled with a nice blend of action and intrigue. Included are scenes depicting the massacre of the protestants at St. Bartholomew; also Huguenot women being put to the sword by the Catholic followers of Charles IX; and finally a memorable beheading scene at the film’s climax. Look quick, you’ll also glimpse Moreau (Queen Margot) wearing a see-through chemise. Color, from 16mm.
