Summary: 3 Stars

I thought the CD was good. I have only watched Madame X so far. This movie skipped slightly once while I was viewing it. I have not watched Portrait in Black yet.

I gave it (3)stars also,because of the time it took to get here.

DVD Review: MURDER DRAMA
Summary: 5 Stars

I'M HAPPY TO GET A SHARP COPY OF "PORTRAIT IN BLACK" INSTEAD OF MY OFF THE TV COPY.
"CRIME DOESN'T PAY!",AS THE SHADOW WOULD SAY. ONCE THEY COMMIT THE CRIME,THEN,THE
TROUBLE BEGINS. COVER-UP AFTER COVER-UP, THINGS START TO GET WORSE. EXCELLENT!!!
+BONUS MOVIE:"MADAM X" IS,LIKE THE OTHER REVIEWER'S HAVE SAID, IS A TEAR JERKER.
THIS MUST BE THE GREATEST TEAR JERKER OF ALL TIME! EXCELLENT!!!
YOU GET YOUR MONEYS WORTH WITH THESE 2 KEEPER MOVIES.

Portrait In Black / Madame X (Double Feature)

When I went to open the movie, I noticed a red stamp on the packaging stating the movie was made in Mexico. No big deal, right? Wrong! We proceeded to watch the 1st movie "Portrait in Black" and it kept switching from light to dark throughout the ENTIRE movie. It was very annoying and it was hard to concentrate on the movie and enjoy it. I know this happens when movies are recorded from VHS to DVD and have a copy guard on them to prevent from getting a good copy. I ordered 4 other movies and a couple of the others had the same red stamp on them. I haven't watched them yet but keeping my fingers crossed the same thing doesn't happen on the others. I wonder if anyone else has had this experience.

DVD Review: Lana Turner's finest screen moments...
Summary: 4 Stars

Holly Anderson (Lana Turner) is the young wife of a rich diplomat(John Forsythe).

Neglected by her husband, she is driven in boredom into the arms of Phil Benton, a playboy (Richardo Montalban).

When he is killed in a bad fall during one night of their encounter, she appeals to her matriarchal mother-in-law for help... But the aristocratic woman (Constance Bennett) who has always considered her an embarrassment to her family, convinces her the indiscretion will cost her husband his career and wreck their young son's life...

Over the years, she slowly drifts into a life of alcoholism and prostitution, sinking lower and lower until. in a Mexican hotel she meets Dan Sullivan (Burgess Meredith) a smooth-talking con-man, and agrees to join him in a blackmail scheme...

When she discovers too late that the intended victim is her husband, she shoots the ugly blackmailer and goes on trial for murder signing her confession as the mysterious Madame X...

Unaware of her true identity, the young lawyer assigned to defend her is her own son Clay Anderson Jr (Keir Dullea), now grown to manhood...

No one will be able to watch "Madame X" (filmed six times) without a strange feeling in the throat... So if you haven't cried so much in years, this is your opportunity to see the mother-love and self-sacrifice in specially in the famous courtroom scenes... She's truly very moving...

Constance Bennett, one of the most glamorous stars of the 1930s returned to the screen after a twelve-year absence... Sadly, the film was Bennett's last; she died shortly before it was released...
