Miss Lulu Bett

Wlliam deMille produced and directed Miss Lulu Bett, a film of extraordinary conviction and insight. It was then often the custom for unmarried women to lodge with family; thus we discover Miss Lulu in a boring Midwestern town, an exploited household drudge for her sister and her overbearing brother-in-law.

All I have to say about this film is that if you have the ability to see it with a soundtrack, or better yet a live organ, do that. Unfortunately for me, the copy I saw was without sound of any kind which made the viewing experience tedious. The rating would be higher, probably, except that it is hard to judge a film I thought was difficult to enjoy.
