3.3.11

della (1964)


aka Fatal Confinment.
"Why should I sell my property...I'm not in need of money."
A property company wants to develop Royal Bay and they send Barney Stafford (Paul Burke), to meet the reclusive owner Della Chappell (Joan Crawford) and pursuade her to sell her section of it. Whilst there he meets Jenny (Diane Baker), her equally reclusive daughter, and they hit it off, but he soon realises that the pair are harbouring a dark secret...
Concieved as a TV series that fell through, so the enterprising producers turned this pilot into a film instead. It betrays its soap origins, but is lifted by Joan's smoldering performance.
