The Woman Of Straw (1964)
Plot In A Paragraph: Sly Anthony (Connery) plots ways to gain control of his uncle's fortune with the help of his nurse Maria.
Not one to revisit often, if ever. In fact this is the first time I have revisited this since I paid a silly amount of money for a DVD that will just sit in my collection a few years back. It's not awful, but it's far from grea. Worth watching once though.
Connery took second billing, and for a great majority of the movie seems a little bored by it all. Top billed Gina Lollobrigida is attractive, but she lacks any chemistry with Connery. The best performance in the movie comes from Ralph Richardson as the vile, racist tycoon who "treats his servants like dogs and his dogs like servants" he even kept stealing the movie after his character is killed off.
The Woman Of Straw tanked at the box office, not registering on the highest grossing movies of the year list.
