Quiz
When listing what has happened to him since meeting Sue Ann on Monday, Dennis says, "Wednesday, I was unfaithful", a remark he immediately dismisses as a fantasy by saying "that was in another country"--a reference to famous lines in Christopher Marlowe's play "The Jew Of Malta" ("But that was in another country/And besides, the wench is dead"). However, Lorenzo Semple Jr.'s screenplay did originally contain a sequence in which Dennis is seduced by his much-older landlady Mrs. Bronson; it was omitted from the film.

Blooper
Sue Ann's blue Sunbeam convertible appears in the background in the cemetery scene, but she isn't driving it.

Citazioni
Dennis Pitt: [Meeting with Mr. Azenauer in the prison] There was some poison once, but no one recognized it. In fact, that poison was even quite... pretty-looking. So, the problem was, what to do about it? It took me some time to realize that what to do about it was very simple: nothing.
Morton Azenauer: Nothing?
Dennis Pitt: Correct, Mr. Azenauer, because who'd listen to me - known to be no good? But if that poison just stayed there, getting worse and worse, like poison always does - spreading, until even the blindest man could see, until he HAD to see...
Morton Azenauer: Go on...
Dennis Pitt: [Hesitating] Sorry... I've learned that people only pay attention to what they discover for themselves. So long...
Dennis Pitt: [Getting up] If you're ever in Winslow, see what Sue Ann is up to, will you?
Morton Azenauer: I'll keep an eye on her, Dennis.
Dennis Pitt: So long.
[Leaves the room, with Mr. Azenauer looking rather perplexed]

A Hidden Gem

I recently got a hold of a bootleg copy of this film and liked it a lot. Why is this movie not on DVD? I'd like to see more of this director's work released on DVD with lots of extras and DVD Easter eggs!

Tuesday Weld and Tony Perkins make quite the creepy couple of murderous psychos in this late 60's film noir. I guess this qualifies as an underground classic. Despite the fact it is (or was) a major studio release. With today's troubled youth as royally screwed up as they are these days, I think a lot people could still relate to these characters. This twisted murderous couple reminds me of something out of an old sexy Jim Thompson pulp novel.

Go see Pretty Poison. A word to the wiseguy.
