‘Teach your children well’ they say, but Sondra Locke’s young girl in this show is the victim of parenting so bad it verges on criminal … John Lewis Carlino’s adult murder mystery has excellent imagery courtesy of director William A. Fraker and cameraman László Kovács. But the studio ‘made changes,’ removing explicit adult content and selling the show as horror even though it’s PG and has little to shock an audience. That leaves us with a carefully underplayed drama courtesy of Robert Shaw, Mary Ure, Sally Kellerman and Signe Hasso — and a twisted sex mystery that seems obvious from the get-go. The HD transfer restores Fraker’s elaborate imagery, making us wonder what his intended version might have been.

Sondra Locke, who earned an Oscar nomination for her first film and went on to co-star with then-boyfriend — and later nemesis — Clint Eastwood in a half-dozen films, has died. She was 74.
Locke died November 3, but her death has just been reported. Radar Online first reported the news, saying she died of complications from breast and bone cancer.
Locke scored a Supporting Actress Oscar nom for 1968’s The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, her screen debut. She also picked a pair of Golden Globes noms for the film as Supporting Actress and Most Promising Newcomer.
She continued to work in film and television into the mid-1970s, when Eastwood cast her in his 1976 Western The Outlaw Josey Wales. They would go on to star together in The Gauntlet (1977), Bronco Billy (1980) and the Dirty Harry film Sudden Impact (1983) — all of which Eastwood also directed — along with the streetfighter romp Every Which Way but Loose...

We pay tribute to Mary Yre, the star of stage and big-screen classics including Look Back In Anger and Where Eagles Dare...
There was something remote about Mary Ure that came across on screen so clearly. She looked untouchable, distant; she had great poise and enormous eyes that always contained a hint of wariness. A theatre actress in the main, she made very few films, but she always brought deeper meaning to the movies she was in, from action thrillers to science fiction, social drama or literary adaptations.
Always the supporting actress, her quiet ability to wring emotion from few words added a huge amount to these films. It’s so sad that she left behind only a few cinematic performances when she died at a young age, but here are five of her very best roles, and a reminder of how talented she was.
