- Quotes
Dr. Rourke O'Brien: The way you roll that off your tongue, it's a pleasure to hear. But what do you have in that steel trap you call a heart? I'll tell you what you've got. Envy, hate, and malice. You envy this woman for all those qualities you'd give your right arm to possess. Envying her, you hate her and hating her you'd like to destroy her. But you'll never do that, Mrs. Clegg. Not you and your kind, not ever, because women like Mrs. Garth are indestructible.

Maybe the most interesting aspect of "Strange Lady in Town" is the chance to see a young Lois Smith in a major role. She went on to a very long, distinguished career as a character actress in movies and TV. (literally now in her 7th decade). Her 'Spurs' in "Strange Lady" is a little bit out there, but that's been true of many of her roles over the years. I recently saw her as an emotionally disturbed psychic on an episode of "Route 66" from the early '60s. She was a favorite of that show's producers, and made several appearances.
