Movie Reviews of Pretty Poison
Movie Review: "Pretty Poison" - Deadly but Not Arresting
Summary: 5 Stars
"Pretty Poison" has had a very rough life, originally released in 1968, was considered faithlessly by 20th Century-Fox, its studio that it was dumped into the latter part of a double-bill initially and given that lurid title. Lorenzo Semple, Jr. wrote the screenplay (of TV's "Batman" fame) and wrote it well. Tuesday Weld, perhaps a bit too old to play a high school teen was superb and took home a few awards for this part, even though she finds her part regretable and held a dislike for the director, Noel Black, who made a very impressive feature debut with this film. The images are sumptuous and the look and feel of the film are flawless. Anthony Perkins is also cast opposite Tuesday for a pairing that was charasmatic, repeated several years later in "Play It As It Lays." The critics that came to bat for "Pretty Poison" upon its release used it as a cause for "the sleeper" (which found long-running homes for movies like "Night of the Living Dead" and "Rider on the Rain" (which needs a better DVD pressing, guys). The Lawrence Turman production is top calibre all the way with Tuesday unspeakably delicious as the cheerleader, an actress long-overdue for honors.
