An important film that deserves attention for two reasons: 1. An unusual story, of an evil woman who actually shows respect for religion; 2 For an unusual low-key, yet convincing performance from Rod Steiger and an interesting one by the beautiful Diana Dors. Actor Tom Tryon is given third billing for a brief role, while the more important role of the priest and brother of the Rod Steiger character acted by Arthur Franz is given lower billing. The direction is just average fare. But the tale written by an unknown writer named William Durkee is interesting.
