SO EVIL MY LOVE
(Paramount) O Evil My Love is a painfully protracted and thoroughly unconvincing study of spiritual wickedness, moral degeneration, and murder ‘in the murky atmosphere of the gas-lit ’eighties. It introduces Ann Todd as a missionary’s widow who becomes so infatuated with a crook (Ray Milland) that she embarks upon a career of theft and blackmail and finally slips her victim an overdose of antimony when exposure seems imminent. If one could imagine Ray Milland as a sort of homme fatal, this story might be just barely believable (it is said to be founded on fact), but the intellectual’ effort required was a bit beyond me-and, to judge from her acting, a bit beyond Miss Todd too.
