This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.

Though Wicked Woman may look like one of those heavy-breathing Hugo Haas-directed melodramas, the film was in fact directed by screenwriter Russell Rouse. The title character, played by Beverly Michaels, is a trashy blonde who swivels into a small California town. Here she weaves her seductive web around a bar owner (Richard Egan), who leaves his alcoholic wife (Evelyn Scott) behind. The two lovers scheme to sell the bar for a profit and dash off to Mexico, but their scheme is foiled by their own perfidy. Wicked Woman represents perhaps the best-ever screen performance of ubiquitous, squeaky-voiced character actor Percy Helton, who deservedly ends up as the recipient of one of the most spectacular slaps in the face in movie history.

5 of 5 The Woman in White November 14, 2015
Reviewer: Patrick Merla from New York, NY United States  
Both Lily Tomlin and Vito Russo named this one of their delights. The wicked woman of the title is platinum blonde and always dresses in white, the opposite of what you'd expect, given the darkness of her character. Another impossible-to-find movie, until now.
