Daughter of Darkness

Screening on Film

With Anne Crawford, Maxwell Reed, Siobhan McKenna.
UK, 1948, 35mm, black & white, 91 min.

The morbid tale of a nymphomaniac Irish girl who brings death to men attracted to her is closer to Mexican Buñuel than to British cinema. It showcases Lance Comfort at his most confident, brilliantly pushing the story to its limit while stopping just short of horror fantasy.
