Plot:
A vicious psychopath murders your fiancé, then rapes you. Do you call the cops, fight back, run like hell? Or do you bond with your tormentor? Events that plunge emotionally fragile Hope Masters (Cheryl Ladd of TV’s Charlie’s Angels) into a living nightmare become more monstrous when, frightened into believing the twisted, self-serving tale her attacker (Sam Elliott) weaves, she comes to view him as a hero. She trusts him, depends on him, lets him become part of her life. And Hope lies for him – a lie that leads to her arrest and trial for her fiancé’s murder. The fact-based A Death in California locks a heartbreakingly vulnerable woman, a manipulative killer and viewers in a bizarre dance of crime, punishment and death. From Warner Brothers!

Synopsis:
It’s the off-season at the lonely Beauregard Hotel in Bournemoth, and only the long-term tenants are still in residence. Life at the Beauregard is stirred up, however, when the beautiful Ann Shankland arrives to see her alcoholic ex-husband, John Malcolm, who is secretly engaged to Pat Cooper, the woman who runs the hotel. Meanwhile, snobbish Mrs Railton-Bell discovers that the kindly if rather doddering Major Pollock is not what he appears to be. The news is particularly shocking for her frail daughter, Sibyl, who is secretly in love with the Major.

The post Delbert Mann – Separate Tables (1958) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

This slice-of-life drama scripted by Paddy Chayefsky originated as a live 1953 television broadcast directed by Delbert Mann and starring Rod Steiger and Nancy Marchand. The movie version retained Mann as director but replaced the two leads with Ernest Borgnine and Betsy Blair. A kind of proto-Before Sunrise, it examines a watershed 24-hour period in the lives of two lonely people.

Marty Pilletti is a 34-year-old, overweight Italian butcher living with his widowed mother who has no illusions about himself or his attractiveness to women. He has just one career ambition – to buy his boss’s butcher shop – and he’s not even convinced about doing that. Gentle and good-natured, he spends his time with a small circle of dead-end fellow unmarried men. One Saturday night, Marty’s mother convinces him to go out to a dance hall. There, he comes across a plain-looking schoolteacher named Clara whose situation mirrors his own – she lives with her parents, and is hesitating whether to accept a promotion she’s been offered. After witnessing Clara’s humiliating rejection by her blind date, Marty asks her to dance with him out of pity. Soon, the pair are enjoying each other’s company and feeling a mutual attraction, but are equally wary of putting themselves at risk emotionally…
