No intro and no outro, but, whether, A Woman's Vengeance or In The Grip of Lies, no matter what the title is this movie was made for all times. It's ageless, Jessica Tandy, Charles Boyer and a very young, Ann Blyth ( now 95 years ) how marvelous this cast of characters.

It’s wonderful to see a movie for adults, in contrast to the trash made over the past 50 years. (2024) Brilliant!

Cecil Hardwicke's voice was the most remarkable feature of this movie; he gave life to Aldous Huxley's brillant lines. His vocal resonance was on the same par as that of George Sanders. This classic was seen years ago but still hasn't lost it's magic. An excellent cast and a 'compelling' story-line. In other words "they don't make them like that anymore"!!!

A Woman's Vengeance is a 1948 American film noir drama mystery film directed by Zoltán Korda and starring Charles Boyer, Ann Blyth, Jessica Tandy, Cedric Hardwicke, Rachel Kempson, and Mildred Natwick. The screenplay by Aldous Huxley was based on his 1922 novelette "The Gioconda Smile".

Great film. Well spoken actors, that audience can understand every word, the well-written script that deserves the delivery by the actors, the psychological, and philosophical thoughts contained, and a great suspenseful story and builds up the suspense until the last 10 seconds!!! Just as an example, people that are interested in 'stoicism' will be surprised to hear one of the stoic principles told by the doctor in the last 10 minutes of the movie!.... I will surely watch it again, just for the 'doctor'. It is a BRITISH movie of not just good, but superior type!!!! Thanks.

Fabulous stellar cast. Charles Boyer, Jessica Tandy, Rachel Kempson (Lynn, Corin and Vanessa Redgrave's mother) and Mildred Natwick

Charles Boyer was so handsome.

Poor Charles Boyer, too ‘French’ and charming for his own good. Unwittingly charms the wrong woman with disastrous results.

Tom footers click bate. The actual title is A Woman's Vengeance. Changing the title and eliminating the movie's credits amounts to deception. This movie displays a cast of English stars who, though are in the dust of history, do not deserve to be forgotten. Even the author Aldus Huxley deserves to be remembered and honored in the credits.

And that he committed suicide in Phoenix, AZ, at 79, 2 days after his wife died of cancer. And his son had died playing Russian Roulette! Sad.

A Woman’s Vengeance 1948

This is the film A WOMAN'S VENGENCE directed by Zoltan Korda 1948 based on the story by Aldous Huxley titled THE GIOCONDA SMILE. Apparently now with a copyright lapse and a new title with no opening credits one can blithly pedal other people's work and performances without assigning authorship or creative construction. Fortunately it is an otherwise flawless reproduction of a little appreciated gem. It features Jessica Tandy in a performance that radiates the artistry she would shortly bring to the role of Blanche in STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE. Ann Blyth is fresh and dewey in a role very different from Veda in MILDRED PIERCE. Also the fine acting of Mildred Natwick, Rachel Kempson and Cedric Hardwick. Just great

A fine movie. Boyer, Tandy, Blyth, all excellent in this - 'A Woman's Vengeance' - 1948. One of Blyth's two greats.

The title is "a woman's revenge."

Disturbing on so many levels😲. Charles Boyer is charismatic and sexy as ever even at this age. Seeing the reciprocated warmth between him and Janet in the beginning seemed absolutely right and my heart wanted him to be with her and not his vengeful insecure wife. But when he married an EMBRYO🙄 who generally looked and acted like his DAUGHTER, I was squirming in my seat😤. I wanted to fast forward thru every one of their scenes together. Charles was wonderful but it was easy to see how uncomfortable he was. Charles and the actress who played Janet and also of course the good doctor who saves the day gave fantastic performances. A flawed but riveting movie.

The nurse who lied in Court and went against the husband and doctor's wishes. Janet, the wife's friend, who was vicious to the end because she expected him to feel the same way she did and when she found out he remarried and met the mistress just showed how ugly jealousy can be. The 'other woman' who didn't care about the hurt she would cause. The only good salt of the earth character was the doctor.
