Ann Blyth getting her hair fixed on set

Ann Blyth had her hair coiffed by the studio hairdresser about 1947.  Her costume would seem to indicated that she was in between takes of A Woman's Vengeance (1948), a marvelously atmospheric suspense story.  From my book, Ann Blyth: Actress. Singer. Star.:

A Woman’s Vengeance (1948) is an English murder mystery that is more psychological drama than whodunit, and in which the three leads played by Ann Blyth, Charles Boyer, and Jessica Tandy form a triangle that is less romantic than it is simply purely lustful.  It is a literate, intelligent film of great power, deep wounds, penetrating remorse, and playful hypocrisy.

A Woman's Vengeance on DVD - UK Release

A Woman's Vengeance (1948), starring Ann Blyth, Charles Boyer, and Jessica Tandy will be released on DVD in the United Kingdom this coming April 25th.  

As far as I can tell, this is the first release of this movie on DVD (apart from what are commonly called black market versions), and it is an exciting prospect to have more of Ann Blyth's earlier work available to the public.  It can be purchased through Amazon-UK, and be advised you will need a DVD player, or computer, that can play Region 2 DVDs. Here's hoping it will also be released in the U.S. in the future.

We discussed the movie here at my Another Old Movie Blog, and, of course, it's covered in my book on Ann Blyth's career -- Ann Blyth: Actress. Singer. Star.
